For the most part, the chord changes are correct, I mean
he says it's a three chord song to begin with.
C G F C
CLost the confidence to write a song
So I fouGnd three simple chords
And held them together with my weak voice
On an out oFf tune guitar
My fatCher gave to me
And Gmay Elvis turn in his grave
And Les Paul cursFe my dirty callCoused fingers
And may Gthe likes of this song never make
One fucking dollar
Leave it Ffor a demo tape
To be played untilC it's broken
And rememberGed only for what it was
Though we gFave 'em hell
Though we Cgave 'em hell
Though we Ggave 'em hell
(2x)
CTo my friends andG enemies who could have been anything
Titans aFnd heroes who found survival in cause and effect
BehindC counters
Behind windows
Striving jGust
To be Fpeople with bitter ideals of justice
Do we onGly need to keep wForking becauCse it pays rent?
SleepiGng under plastic stars glued to the ceiling
Muscles Fburning aClcohol and nicotine
Every moGrning
But we gave 'eFm hell
But we gave 'eCm hell
But we gave 'eGm hell
(2x)
There's a heightC beyond skyscrapers
There'Gs a distance bFeyond the freeway
More than Cpictures in a Gmagazine
More thFan tragedy in a rock and roll song
It'sG more than actions you know are safe to make
It'sF more tChan money could ever buy
Are wGe living to work and die in American cities?
AnFd workinCg to live and die in American cities,
G F C G (let ring)
And dying for what we worked.
