Chords

I picked this up from a youtube video of a live song they were playing slightly before Talon of the Hawk was released. Unfortunately they didn't put it on that record but hopefully a studio version will be released eventually. Anyway, the chords used in this song are the basic power chords like every other Front Bottoms song. If expanding the power chords to full chords, they are all major except the C which is minor. [Verse]
Ab                                Eb
Awkward situations followed by awkward hugs

            Ab/C        Db                    Ab            Eb
and these bullshit conversations take what little air is left inside my (lungs)

  Ab                                Eb
Nothing but I'm fighting like I've had too much to drink

        Ab/C              Db            Ab                 Eb
Letting go of what we've lost, come to terms with how you think of me

     Ab
and I love what you've done

                Eb
You've cut off ties, you turn and run

             Ab/C             Db
You built me up to take your fall

              Ab            Eb
You led me straight into a wall
[Chorus]
             Ab       Db             Cm                    Eb
And I'll say I personally think it's too cold to have the windows open

        Ab                Db          Cm       Eb
but you wanna smoke your menthol cigarette

    Ab        Db               Cm                    Eb
And I personally, I think it's too cold to have the windows open

        Ab                Db          Cm       Eb
but you wanna smoke your fucking cigarette
[Verse]
               Ab                                      Eb
You might be leading now but there is no way you will ever win

                              Ab/C                  Db           Ab                 Eb
when you have absolutely no control over any of the situations that you put yourself in

    Ab
And I wish I could pretend to be

            Eb
all of the things you think you see in me

         Ab/C                Db
but I am not that guy, that guy just left

            Ab            Eb
He had his collar up and smoke on his breath

       Ab
And we have these parties for the way it was

           Eb
but once the booze is gone is it worth the buzz

           Ab/C                        Db
Cause I've got some problems and I'm talkin' loud

                Ab                   Eb
and all your friends are here so word will get out
[Chorus]
     Ab       Db             Cm                    Eb
And I personally think it's too cold to have the windows open

       Ab                Db           Cm       Eb
but you wanna smoke your goddamn cigarettes

    Ab        Db             Cm                    Eb
And I personally think it's too cold to have the windows open

       Ab                Db           Cm       Eb     Ab
but you wanna smoke your menthol cigarette
