Chords with lyrics
This is how I play the song.
I'm an amateur, so suggestions are appreciated!
For the intro chord progression play the second C majorC higher up.
For example, I play the intro:
A-5th fret bar
C majorC -3rd fret bar
E MajorE -open
Dm-5th fret bar
C majorC -8th fret bar
A-5th fret bar

So I kneel down

I have some things to say:
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm
Like, you should have been a writer, you should have played guitar,
FF
But those kids keep coming down the fucking hill
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm
You should have been a writer, you should have played guitar,
FF
But those kids keep coming down the fucking hill
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm
Or, you should have been a writer, you should have played guitar,
DmDm
But your face looks like a statue in the dark
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm
Like a candle that is held up to a mirror
DmDm
Or the terrible glimpse of a shark
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm FF
Within your idiot heart
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm FF x3
DmDm FF
I heard you hate it, just based on your principles now
DmDm FF

So I kneel down
FF
Down into your burning sand, singing
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm
One, we got the spirit, two, we got the music

Three, we got the past and four, we got the future
G+G A minorAm C majorC DmDm FF
And five, we got some kind of lust
