The other version was inaccurate and lazy, so I worked it out myself.
There may be 7ths/add9s/sus chords in there, but just play around with it until you have
how you want, or listen really carefully.
G Demonstrations got boring, C Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us Em It's hard to drag yourself through empty streets F On an empty stomach with no sleep G The shortcomings got clearer C As the price we paid got dearer and dearer Em It's supposed to be a case of give and take F Well I was feeling the give and making the mistake Am F G And I've heard it said the unexamined life, Am F G Isn't much worth living, and I'm sure they're right Am F G But it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight Am F When no one else seems bothered D Yeah, when no one's on your side C D Because I'm young enough to be all pissed off G C But I'm old enough to be jaded C D I'm at the age where I want things to change Bm C But with age my hopes have faded C D I'm young and bored of being young and bored Bm Em D If I was old I could say I've seen it all before C D G In short; I'm tired of giving a shit G I've got friends who are bankers C And it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers Em But I must say I envy the way that they live F And it's all; it's all take and no give G Well I'm playing the lone ranger C Riding to the rescue of 6 billion strangers Em Armed with only an original song F And a sense that something's wrong C G/B Am G And I must admit that I'm tired of saying no, all the time C G/B F G Well I must admit that I don't really know what would be right C B And if politics, is helping other people Em D C Then my political career is pretty fucked C D G Because the truth is I don't like people all that much G The times they aren't a-changing C Yeah England's still shit, and it's still raining Em And everybody's jaded and tired and bored F And no one lifts a finger, because G It's just not in our culture C Our culture is carrion and we're all vultures Em And no one seems bothered by the state of play F It seems that the stench is with us to stay Am F G So I had a go, I tried examining life Am F It wasn't much worth living G I guess they're right Am F G And I'm tired of fighting the fight that's not my fight Am F D So is everybody else, we're all on the same side. C D Because I'm young enough to be all pissed off G C But I'm old enough to be jaded C D I'm at the age where I want things to change Bm C But with age my hopes have faded C D I'm young and bored of being young and bored Bm Em D If I was old I could say I've seen it all before C D In short; I'm tired C D And in short; I'm probably fired C D G If the revolution doesn't want me, I don't give a shit.
