Chords
Feel free to add or drop fingers, to flourish. The melody is pretty fluid so you can afford to twiddle a bit.
I do not know how accurate it is comparedto the original but it serves me well.
The chords are positioned as exactly as I was able, to be true to the way I personally sing along, again this
may be an inaccurate representation of the original.
[Verse]
D A G D A G Learn to lose, its easier that way D A G Bm A G Weve paid our dues, but we cant make life pay Em A D A G All across the world, people going mad Em A D A G In their mothers cars, the kids are feeling sad A Asus4 A Thats how it is, and Ill see you later
[Chorus]
D A G Everything old is new again Em7 D/F# A Everything under the sun D A G Now that Im back with you again Em A4 We hug and we kiss Em A4 We sit and make lists Em7 A D Dsus4 D We drink and I bandage your wrists
[Verse]
D A G D A G Wasted youth -- there wasnt much to waste D A G Bm A G Down to the bone, and still losing weight Em A D A G With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes Em A D A G But when I say I love her, she thinks Im telling lies A Asus4 A Is it all lost? no, we never had it
[Chorus]
D A G Everything old is new again Em7 D/F# A Everything under the sun D A G All of our fears come true again Em A4 Recycle, re-use Em A4 Resent and refuse Em7 A D Dsus4 D Our parent's Ideals and views
(The Rhythm here is a little tricky here, I like to do the first 2 chords in a kind of flamenco strum and
switch to a simple, rolling amen break for the last 2, but many strum patterns fit.)
Em F# Bm G She thinks the afterlife might just be where the action is F# Bm Em7 A With high schools built like prisons, she cant find a way to live... ...Woah-oh-oh
[Verse]
D A G D A G Moved back home to fill the empty nest D A G Bm A G Afraid to roam, in love with second best Em A D A G While somewhere in the world, shes hosting her own show Em A D A G And everyone she questions never seems to know A Asus4 A Who they are and where they are going
[Chorus]
D A G Everything old is new again Em7 D/F# A Everything under the sun D A G Now that Im without you again Em A4 I wake up and eat Em A4 I go back to sleep Em7 A D And let all my nightmares repeat
(Slowly and sadly)
Em A D A G All across the world, people going mad...
