Chords with lyrics
Give me Novacaine by Green Day
from the album American Idiot
Tabbed by Amrish Kelkar
The song uses 2 acoustic guitars. There's one more electric and a
bass ofcourse. It starts off with nice clean acoustic strumming; The
electric guitar chips in towards the middle of the song.
The song ends once again with solo acoustic guitar strumming. Finger
positions shown at the end are the positions I figured the chords are
played by the acoustic guitar.
Song uses basically only two progressions
i) A-F#m-Bm-E
ii)D-A-D-A-D-F#m-Bm-E
A augmentedA 
F# minorF#m
Take away the sensation inside
B minorBm 
E MajorE
Bittersweet migraine in my head
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
B minorBm E MajorE
I can't take this feeling anymore
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
A augmentedA
This sensation's overwhelming,
D MajorD
Give me a long kiss goodnight
F# minorF#m
and everything will be alright
B minorBm E MajorE
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm E MajorE
So give me Novacaine
Repeat above for Verse 2
Midriff :
A augmentedA|
A majorA|A augmentedA|A majorA
Oh Novacaine
[F# minorF#m|F#m|A augmentedA|A majorA] X 3

Drain the pressure from the swelling,.....
