Chords

from the Crime As Forgiven By... EP For the most part, the chord changes are correct, I mean he says it's a three chord song to begin with. C G F C
C
Lost the confidence to write a song

		    G 
So I found three simple chords
And held them together with my weak voice
	         F
On an out of tune guitar

			C
My father gave to me

		G
And may Elvis turn in his grave

			           F		          C
And Les Paul curse my dirty calloused fingers

		    G	   
And may the likes of this song never make
One fucking dollar
			   F   
Leave it for a demo tape

            			C
To be played until it's broken

					  G
And remembered only for what it was

 			    F
Though we gave 'em hell

			    C
Though we gave 'em hell

			    G
Though we gave 'em hell
(2x)
C					      G
To my friends and enemies who could have been anything

	      F
Titans and heroes who found survival in cause and effect

		  C
Behind counters
Behind windows
	        G
Striving just

			F
To be people with bitter ideals of justice

	      G						    F           C
Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent?

	    G
Sleeping under plastic stars glued to the ceiling

		    F				C
Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine

		  	G
Every morning

		          F
But we gave 'em hell

		          C
But we gave 'em hell

		          G
But we gave 'em hell
(2x)
                C
There's a height beyond skyscrapers

	    G				     F
There's a distance beyond the freeway

  	      C			       G
More than pictures in a magazine

			 F
More than tragedy in a rock and roll song

		G
It's more than actions you know are safe to make

		F			C
It's more than money could ever buy

  	 G
Are we living to work and die in American cities?

	F			 C
And working to live and die in American cities,

         G				   F	C	G (let ring)
And dying for what we worked.
