Chords

You'll need to tune all the strings on your guitar down a step and a half to play this song. This song switches strumming style back and forth between palm muted strums,rapid down strums and strumming pattern is used and how the palm muting in the verses sounds. Your third finger stays on the third fret of the first string for the whole song. During the chorus, instrumental and outro sections - the guitar is sometimes hitting second fret of the fifth string when switching from A7sus2 to Cmaj7sus2 and vice versa.

G
  Dutch kids huff balloons in the parking lot

The golden arches illuminate the business park

A7sus2
     I eat myself to death, feed the corporate machine

I watch the movies, recite every line and scene

Cmaj7sus2
     God bless America and all of its allies

A7sus2                                               G
     I'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes

[Verse 2]

G
  I am so blissfully unaware of everything

Kids in Gaza are bombed, and I'm just out of it

A7sus2
    The tensions of the world are rising higher

We're probably due another war with all this ire

Cmaj7sus2
     I'm not smart enough to change a thing

          A7sus2                                        G G Gadd9 G*
I have no answers, only questions, don't you ask a thing

[Chorus]

        Cmaj7sus2               A7sus2        Cmaj7sus2  G
Oh, the silver-tongue suits and cartoons that rule my    world

    D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Are saying it's a  high time for hypersonic missiles

             Cmaj7sus2
But when the bombs drop, darling

    A7sus2              Cmaj7sus2        G
Can you say that you've lived your life?

D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles

[Verse 3]

G
The cities lie like tumours all across the world

A cancer eating mankind, hidden in our blindside

A7sus2
They say I'm a nihilist 'cause I can't see

Any decent rhyme or reason for the life of you and me

         Cmaj7sus2
But I believe in what I'm feeling, and I'm firing for you

         A7sus2                                                  G      G Gadd9 G*
This world is gonna end, but 'til then, I'll give you everything I have

                         Cmaj7sus2  A7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G D6sus4
I'll give you everything I        have

[Instrumental] A7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G D6sus4 Cmaj7sus2 A7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G D6sus4 A7sus2 Cmaj7sus2

G*       Cmaj7sus2              A7sus2        Cmaj7sus2
They all do the same, only the names change, honey

        G                                   D6sus4
You can join their club if you're born into money

      A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2            G Gadd9 G*
It's a  high time for hypersonic missiles
