Chords

From eponymous album It like to play the song using barre chords: Bm , A , G D and Bm(II) in the "things you learnt" bit you could use power (5th) chords. They often use "normal" open position chords live //// //// //// //// Bm | G |D |A Bm (N.C) fade out w/vol or whatever All around you slow decay Wanna feel the sun of a new day Forget all tme chances lost Shedding innocence like falling dust
        Bm                     G
All the things you learned too young

    Bm                 G
The songs you knew but never sung

Bm                     G
Waited a long time and wasted more

   D               A
Forgotten what you waited for

  Bm      A         G
Excuse me ma'am for being so rude

           D            A
Feels like 100 years of solitude

   Bm      A           G
My mind is numb but my mouth's ok

             D        A
And you can listen or walk away
Bm | G |D |A x2 Bm (N.C) No solutions built to last Just your petty scores to settle fast
                          G
The n.m.e was nothing to you

         D                A
And the maker, well the maker of who

     Bm          G
This walkman generation

   Bm                 G
In search of sweet sedation

      Bm                    G
While forests choke under a'lever sky

         D                  A
And the exxon birds that'll never fly
[CHORUS]

E
We tried, we cried. We fell. We lied
X\\\ This life's like a white knuckle ride (N.C) G Crack babies born too young
   D                A
And l.a. kids who dance to the gun

     Bm                  G
So forget this so called dirt of mine

              Bm                 G
It's tust the dust and diesel of passing time

     Bm                  G
It's all around you - a tragedy, look

      D                 A
So forget the cover and read the book.
