I got home this morning with the sun right in my eyes

Intro Same as Before! All together, With Feeling! Those who can't quite function in society at large They've got to wake up on this morning to find that they're in charge But those the world's set up for, who are really doing quite well They're going to wake up in institutions In prison or in hell Prison or in hell Today was supposed to be the day Molecules decide to change their form Laws of physics lose their sway Youthful indiscretion now is suddenly the norm With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah yeah And today was supposed to be Not just another day Today was supposed to be Not just another day Today was supposed to be Not just another day Toady was supposed to be Not just another day It was supposed to be, today was supposed to be OPPOSITE DAY! (ahem...) In this part for the d and C chords you pluck the bass then pluck the two strings and for the A and G Chordds you pluck the bass then the G string and B String... Got I have the violin part two, but if someone would show me how to make tabs I'd be to show it. (shrugs) D7sus2 But if you think there's something else

G            C            A7
 Well you're right, there is

D7sus2 G, C! (pause with some antica..... Pation, and go!) There's something else

                           D7sus2    G      C    A7
But if you think I'm gonna tell you, think again

              D7sus2       G                      C    A7
Why should I even think of telling you what there is

(This picking pattern is easy, It's thumb, fore finger, middle finger. Here's how you do You pluck the bass with your thumb and then you pluck with your forefinger the G string then the B string... Easy! Sorry)

             D7         G
Yeah, 'cause silence is knowledge

C                    A7
    And knowledge is power

Oh I dare not speak its name

             A7

D7    G                  C*   Cmaj7
