Chords
Barre chords sound best, but power chords still work fine. I prefer to open up the G and C
chords in the chorus to regular open chords, and use barre chords for everything else.
The repeating Em-D riff is a bit tricky in regards to the timing, but with practice, it's not hard
to figure out.
Riff 1, which I indicated where to play in the chorus, is:
e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|----3-----2-----0---------| E|----------------------3---|
Riff 2, which I indicated where to play in the chorus, is:
e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| E|-3--0--3--5--6--6--6--5--3|
[Intro]
Em D (x8)
[Verse]
Em D I can't sleep. Em D Em D Em D Dry red eyes wide open. Am Bb Am G Em D Em D Stare at the white stucco ceiling. Em D I turn on the tv, Em D Em D Em D Watch music on television. Am Bb Have I heard this song before? Am G Em D Em D Did this already happen? C Em Derived influence in style of dress. D Am Similar trends in camera technique and editing. C Em Sync up the cuts to the bass drum kick. D All the taste makers drinking from the same glass. Am Is there anybody thinking what I am? Am Is there anybody thinking what I am?
[Chorus]

Em D (x4)
[Verse]
Em D Em D Em D Em D All the insiders rumor over the decline in sales. Am Bb Am G Em D Em D All the buzz is happening in the new digital market place. Em D Em D Em D Em D FBI warning printed on the flipside. Am Bb Am G Em D Em D Under penalty of law piracy will be prosecuted. C Em In MRR someone asks the question, D Am "With the instant availability of information C And content so easily obtainable Em Is the culture now a product that's disposable?" D All the punks still singing the same song. Am Is there anybody thinking what I am? Am Is there any other alternative?
