Intro- A, C#7, D, A augmentedA X2
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD
Before you say a word I should tell you that I've heard it all before
A augmentedA
And you should probably save your breath
C#7C#7 D MajorD
Your feelings of disgust, your thinly veiled mistrust
A augmentedA
My friends have lectured me to death
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD
The people on the news predicted he would lose
A augmentedA
And this was never part of anybody's thoughts
C#7C#7
But something must have gave, or someone must have caved
D MajorD A augmentedA
'Cause now he's up there and they're calling all the shots
A augmentedA C#7C#7
And now most everyone's been taking turns at pointing out the flaws
D MajorD A augmentedA
Accusing us of sabotage and fracturing the cause
C#7C#7
With fingers pointing everywhere and flapping of the jaws
D MajorD A augmentedA
I just avert my eyes and take the abuse
A augmentedA C#7C#7
In social situations I keep mostly to myself
D MajorD A augmentedA
'Cause no one wants to hear about my failing mental health
C#7C#7
And party conversation, I just keep it on the shelf
D MajorD A augmentedA
'Cause I've discovered it's of very little use
A augmentedA D MajorD
And now I'm here
A augmentedA
Stopped at the red light
Bm7Bm7
Watching the headlights
F#m7F#m7 D MajorD
And what if it's all a trick that I fell for
A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 G+G D MajorD
It's happened before more times than I would care to own up to
A augmentedA
And I don't know about you
Bm7Bm7
But I've been getting so tired
F#m7F#m7 D MajorD
Of holding out my thumb for salvation
A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 G+G D MajorD
The indication is that no one really feels like slowing down
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD A augmentedA X2
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD
I listen to the Clash, I separate my trash
A augmentedA
I'm pretty vocal when I feel like things are getting out of hand
C#7C#7 D MajorD
But nothing that I do is ever getting through
A augmentedA
And I just wonder if nobody understands at all
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD
The revolution won't be televised 'cause television's free
A augmentedA
And no one's really sure just what the price is going to be
C#7C#7 D MajorD
We're slowly going broke, our scene's become a joke
A augmentedA
For coked-up funnymen and everyone but me
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD
I like to think that what we had was more than just a fad
A augmentedA
That it was rooted in some bigger kind of truth
C#7C#7
But friends just shake their heads, make jokes about the Dead
D MajorD A augmentedA
And tell me that they used to think the same things in their youth
D MajorD A augmentedA
I'm stopped at the red light
Bm7Bm7
Watching for headlights
F#m7F#m7 D MajorD
And what if it's all a trick that I fell for
A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 G+G D MajorD
It's happened before more times than I would care to own up to
A augmentedA
And I don't know about you
Bm7Bm7
But I've been getting so tired
F#m7F#m7 D MajorD
Of holding out my thumb for salvation
A augmentedA Bm7Bm7 G+G D MajorD
The indication is that no one really feels like slowing down
A augmentedA C#7C#7 D MajorD A augmentedA X2
