Chords with lyrics
Tabbed by: Giuliano Montanari
It was about time for this beautiful song to be tabbed. It's an acoustic version played by Robin himself,
see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRmz1NTEXsI for an orientation. Pretty sure this version is accurate.
The chord names are probably not all right (never know them really).
Capo on 3rd, chords in relation

G+G Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9 G9G9
VERSE
G+G
We sleep all day
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9 G9G9
And wonder where our lives have gone
G+G
Sneak into the night
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9 G9G9
And hope the lack of light will hide our flaws
G+G
Well we can bitch and we can moan
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9 G9G9
And we can curse the days we're born
G+G
Or we can scream and we can shout
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9
And cast away the fear and doubt
G9G9
That turns everything
Sour

Force-fed shit all hype and style
G+G
And like lonely bus stop women said
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9 G9G9
'Without poetry it's like we're dead'
G+G
Well we can bitch and we can moan
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9 G9G9
And all get sick with stress and existential dread
G+G
Or we can scream and we can shout
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A9A9
And cast away the fear and doubt
G9G9
That turns everything
