Chords

All of these are of course powerchords, but I put them into major and minor chords, in case you want to play this song on an acoustic or something. Intro:
G Am Bm C
Let the C chord ring here and everytime it's played throughout the verse.

G             Am
 I believe in desperate acts

    Bm                     C
The kind that make me look stupid - look like a fool

G          Am            Bm
 Just keep reinventing myself

     C
It's move or die - I change my form

      G                 Am
These days the people I love

    Bm             C
are spread so far apart - all out of reach

G       Am   Bm
 It's a thin sheet

           C
Across the face - cover me now
Pre-Chorus:
Em             Bm    C Am
 That's pretty old

Em             Bm C    Am
 That's pretty oooold

  Em              Bm
I never felt like this before

  C              Am
I say that every hour

  Em              Bm
I never felt like this before

  C              Am
I say that every hour

G                    Am                    Bm
 It's never going to be like it could have been

                C
Now it's just this room - window looks back

G         Am          Bm
 You're a big part of it

            C
But I don't care - you take the lead

        G          Am          Bm
And can you really see me now

       C
Like I made me - made me anew

G    Am   Bm     C
Just like anyone else - safer alone
Repeat Pre-Chorus. Chorus:
G   F#/D      Em
 So right, so wrong

        D               C
Another winter's coming on

G    F#/D     Em
 You win, you lose

         D        C
It's the same old news - these things go wrong so often

G     F#/D   Em
 Pick up the phone

    D               C
And punch your home code

G    F#/D       Em          D        C
 Somewhere, sometime let me make you mine

G         Am      Bm
Lean your head on mine

         C
Like you used to - used to your lean

G Am    Bm             C
I don't mind if you're faking it - make it seem real

G        Am
 I'm not asking the questions

Bm                             C
 I'm not demanding the answers now - take what you give

         G           Am               Bm
Right or wrong, just take me, lead me on

    C
I'm going - I'm going
Repeat Chorus. End on C. So that's it. Pretty simple like most Jawbreaker songs, but amazing nonetheless. Also like most Jawbreaker songs.
