As If I Could chords by Leo Ted

Here's a new song that Ted Leo performs.  It's awesome.  I love it.  I think the lyrics
are 98% right.  Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other
lines might be iffy.  Other than that, I think it's fairly accurate.  Not sure what he
does between the verses though.  Maybe some variation of the D chord.  The notes that he
picks are e, d c#, b.

combatting the dubious induced haze

for all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians

I should try to bring a better spirit to my day

Trust in animus might just get you through the day

A                    Em                         Bm
