Mostly power chords but I like to open up to full open or barre chords in the bigger parts of the song.
The timing is a little tricky but otherwise it's a fairly straightforward song.
[Intro]
B
C#m B (x8)
[Verse]
C#mOh, I climb the wooden stairsB to my apartment in the F#mcity
with dark brown molding and white wEalls.
C#mI search my bank account for tBraces of the forty-hour F#mweeks
I’ve been working since last fEall. C#m B
[Chorus]
C#mGive me a list of alarms to sEet,
I’ll tuck myself into bed and F#mhope that I can sleep in
on the wEeekends.
C#mAnother slave to a paycheck,
Aa silent servant to my monthly rent,
what’s kF#meeping me from sinking in the deEep end? C#m B
[Verse]
C#mNow there’s something to be sBaid
for a firm lack of common F#msense,
'cause god knows getting in the vAan isn’t paying rent.
C#mAnd now my older friends B
are all getting married with kids,F#m
and I’m just stoked to play a bAasement. C#m
What's right and wrong in F#mtimes like these?
[Chorus]
C#mGive me a list of alarms to sEet,
I’ll tuck myself into bed and F#mhope that I can sleep in
on the wEeekends.
C#mAnother slave to a paycheck,
Aa silent servant to my monthly rent,
what’s kF#meeping me from sinking in the deEep end?
[Bridge]
And all I can do is sC#mtall
while the plans we make C
become grit in the storm drain’s Bteeth,
and the rain is getting hBbarder every week.
A.....Now the plans we make G#m
become grit in the storm drain’sF#m teeth,
[Chorus]
N.C.
and the puddles are growing deeper at my feet.C#mGive me a list of alarms to sEet,
I’ll tuck myself into bed and F#mhope that I can sleep in
on the wEeekends.
C#mAnother slave to a paycheck,
Aa silent servant to my monthly rent,
I'm F#msinking, I'm sinking
I'm sEinking, I'm sinking, I'm saying I'm sinking again C#m
