Jeff Rosenstock's song "Amen" from his album "I Look Like Shit"
EWaiting to go to school on some suburban road
AThey took my backpack anF#d emptied it in the snow
EThe kids at the bus stop screamed nothing. E Dbm A
EI saw an old lady one time on Astor Place
Asteal an old man's glassF#es and punch him in the face
EMe and the others screamed nothing. E Dbm A
AAnd what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
EAnd what's the difference if Abmyou like being alivDbme Abm
AYeah what's the difference, 'cauBse we're all just gonna Edie.
EA crucifix and two framed pictures of the pope
AI passed them all as I gF#ot evicted from my home.
AMy Catholic landlord scrB(once)eamed "EAmenDbm." A
AWe don't believe in God or spirits in the sky.
EUnless we're desperate aAbmnd need F#mto justiBfy
Athe shitty things we do so Bwe apologize
Dbm"Ya gotta get rid of my guiElt, God."
ABefore I fled the scene I smeared my shit along the baseboards
ETook the moldy foodstuffs, linedAbm them up along the tile floor
AJerked off on the window screen, fridge open and toilet running
EBarely felt reprieve beforAbme the deluge oF#mf regretD came flooding
ANow I can't get to sleep because I have this useless conscience.
EAnd I can't get revenge due to thAbmis stupid moral compass.
AAnd honestly I feel that all tBhese feelings aren't worth it in Ethe end.
(interlude; listen for chord changes, I tried to make it make sense):
E F# B A
F#m E
B E
E F# B A
F# A
B E
AWe don't believe in God or spirits in the sky
EUnless we're desperate oAbr know someone whF#o dieF#md.
AWe gain perspective and Bwe start to change our lives
DbmThen still do shitty things whAen the moment arrives.
ASo what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
ESo what's the difference ifAbm you like being aF#live B
AYeah what's the fucking pointB of thinking as you die
Dbm"Ya gotta forgive all my sins, God."
(end; listen for changes and shit):
E Dbm A E Abm A B Ab E Dbm A E Ab A
I used 'b' for flat because that's what I typed, and 'm' is minor
it's probably not perfect by any means but this is what was on "chordify." I kind of like playing an F#7
instead of the F# just because I like the chord but what do I know.
