Against The Grain chords by Bad Religion

Key: C

🎸 Intro:

C5 E5 C5 E5



🎸 Verse 1:
   C5              E5
Three thousand miles of wilderness, overcome by the flow
 C5          E5
A lonely restitution of pavement, pomp and show
 C5             E5
I seek a thousand answers
I find but one or two
 C5              E5         C5
I maintain no discomfiture, my path again renewed

🎸 Chorus:
E5        C5
Against the grain
E5           C5
That's where I'll stay
E5
Swimming upstream
C5           E5   C5 E5
I maintain against the grain

🎸 Verse 2:
   C5          E5
Here labeled as lunatic, sequestered and content
   C5             E5
There ignored and defeated by the government
      C5          E5
There's an oriented public whose magnetic force does pull
   C5              E5     C5 E5
But away from the potential of the individual

🎸 Chorus:
E5        C5
Against the grain
E5           C5
That's where I'll stay
E5
Swimming upstream
C5           E5  C5 E5
I maintain against the grain

🎸 Verse 3:
  C5                  E5
The flow is getting stronger with smaller increments of time
  C5            E5
And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find
  C5                   E5
You need all that the other has, it's your right to seize the day
    C5               E5         C5 E5
But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away

🎸 Chorus:
E5        C5
Against the grain
E5           C5
That's where I'll stay
E5
Swimming upstream
C5           E5  C5 E5
I maintain against the grain

🎸 Verse 4:
     C5           E5
There's a common consensus and an uncomfortable cheer
 C5            E5
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
  C5                    E5
It sings, "leave your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously"
   C5               E5        C5
This lulling sense or purpose will destroy us rapidly

🎸 Chorus:
E5        C5
Against the grain
E5           C5
That's where I'll stay
E5
Swimming upstream
C5           E5  C5 E5
I maintain against the grain

🎸 Outro:
E5        C5
Against the grain
E5        C5
Against the grain
E5        C5 E5
Against the grain
