"We Didn't Come Here To Rock"
yet another simple AJJ song with their favorite chords...
C GC
We didn't come here to rCock
We only came to disapGpoint you
Cause deep down in your cAmunt
That's exactly what you wanted Fus tGo do
You wanted us to lead you Con
You wanted us to bum you Gout
So you could build us Amup
And you could knock us dFown
If thaFt's what geGts your dAmick haCrd
F G ( C, G, Am, F )
Telling people they're bad at making art
You wanted to feel cheCated
I guess we gave you what you neGeded
So you're welAmcome
Don't worry about Fit G
Just stay on the coCuch
Judge whatever peoplGe do
Don't do anything for yAmourself
I'd hate to see it happen to Fyou G
FIf that's what geGts your diAmck haCrd
TelFling people they're baGd at making Amart
FeeliFng just like you'reG the one in chaAmrge C
PissiFng on my mGost pathetic pCarts
"Truckers are the Blood"
G C Em D
G C Em D
GDon't know if I believe in god
But sometCimes I pray
Em Because the way I was raised
Keeps Dme afraid
G A scientist that has to hCave his way
Em I subsist of a steady dDiet of shame
CI hope EmI can forgGive me
For hCaving the nEmerve to exDist
CI hope Emsomeone can hGelp me
CMake some sEmense of thGis
G I work a ten hour grave
C From nine to seven
Em And I can't fall asleep
D Until eleven past eleven
G There's no drug that I can take
C That will keep me from being awake
Em Past my, pDast my bedtime
GTruckers are the blood in the veins of the body of CAmerica
EmStates are the arms and the legs and the brains and the Deyes
GThere's a disease spreading from organ to Corgan
And Emyou are the white blood cell that fDixes the problem
CYou don't kEmnow your own Gpower
CYou don't kEmnow what you're Dworth
CYou don't rEmecognize your vGalor
And untiCl you do, nothing you do will mDatter

"Love Will Fuck Us Apart"
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Love Will Fuck us Apart
From The Album: Can’t Maintain
Tabbed By: Adam Cornblatt (Tortillamaster)
G
GYou and Dme
G (Start Bass Walk)
Go together like carrots and peas
We should Cbe a happy family
Or a Gtraveling travesty, at least
And Dlove
Will fuck us Cup
Love will fuck us Gup
GBreath in Ddeep
Breath as Gdeeply as you can breath
Breath Cdeep til you're drunk will glee
Breath Gdeep til you're drunk with glee
And Dlove
Will fuck us Cup
Love will fuck us Gup
(Instrumental with verse chords)
End on G
"Sense, Sensibility"
amazing song, amazing band. email me with questions, corrections, or life views.
in the chorus, the progression between G and Em has another chord in between, but I'm
taught, so I don't know what it's called.
G ? Em
e|-3--3--0--|
b|-0--0--0--|
g|-0--0--0--|
d|-0--0--2--|
a|-2--0--2--|
e|-3--2--0--|
Gearnesty and clarity, those Amwonderful mentalities
of Ddecent positivity are aCll that we can Gscribe
but misery and poverty they Amfollow me and my family
and Dthough it seems that i can't win, i Cthink i have to Gtry
everyone's afraid of me, they'll Amnever see that we all leave
the Dsame damn blood each Cnight G
Am C G ? Em
so you'll go your way and i'll go mine
i hope we Cmeet later Don down the Gline
sense and sensibility and Ampeaceful productivity
a Dpretty girl with broken wings is Call that i deGsire
but there's so much hostility in Amall the things surrounding me
the Dawful blow of enmity is Ctrying to stop me Gshine
so i try to look inwardly at Amall the things inside of me
but Dsodomy and buggery keep Cbubbling to the toGp
Am C G ? Em
so you'll go forward and i'll go back
i hope we Ccatch up with each Dother on the Gtrack
Am D C G
and i've been thinking awkwardly Amabout the things that are holy
like DJesus, Joseph, and Mary and CMary MagdaGlene
and even theoretically i Amdon't think i could ever see
the Dperfect human being Jesus Clived without Gsin
Am C G ? Em
so you'll go upward and i'll go down
Am C G ? Em
you'll go upward and i'll go down
Am C G ? Em
you'll go upward and i'll go down
i'll Csee you in Dhell when we Gdie
