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#m B F#m Oh, I climb the wooden stairs to my apartment in the city E with dark brown molding and white walls. C#m B F#m I search my bank account for traces of the forty-hour weeks E C#m B I’ve been working since last fall.
Chorus: C#m E Give me a list of alarms to set, F#m I’ll tuck myself into bed and hope that I can sleep in E on the weekends. C#m Another slave to a paycheck, A a silent servant to my monthly rent, F#m E C#m B what’s keeping me from sinking in the deep end? Verse: C#m B Now there’s something to be said F#m for a firm lack of common sense, A 'cause god knows getting in the van isn’t paying rent. C#m B And now my older friends F#m are all getting married with kids, A C#m and I’m just stoked to play a basement. F#m What's right and wrong in times like these? Chorus: C#m E Give me a list of alarms to set, F#m I’ll tuck myself into bed and hope that I can sleep in E on the weekends. C#m Another slave to a paycheck, A a silent servant to my monthly rent, F#m E what’s keeping me from sinking in the deep end? Bridge: C#m And all I can do is stall C while the plans we make B become grit in the storm drain’s teeth, Bb and the rain is getting harder every week. A G#m .....Now the plans we make F#m become grit in the storm drain’s teeth, N.C. and the puddles are growing deeper at my feet. Chorus: C#m E Give me a list of alarms to set, F#m I’ll tuck myself into bed and hope that I can sleep in E on the weekends. C#m Another slave to a paycheck, A a silent servant to my monthly rent, F#m I'm sinking, I'm sinking E C#m
