In this part I play it simply struming these chords.

Am             Am
    Sullen and bored the kids stay

And in this way, wish away, each day
Am                Am
    Stoned in the mall the kids play
       Dsus4     Dm              Esus4
And in this way, wish away, each day


Am Dsus4 Dm Esus4 x2
