capo on 3rd

intro : D G A

verse chords
( D )
well a teacher of mine once told me
that life was just a list of
( G )
disappoints and defeats
and you could
( A )
only do your best ,
and i said
( D )
“that’s a fxxking cop – out , you’re just washed up and your tired , and when
( G )
i get to your age i
( A )
won’t be such a coward”
but these
( Em )
days i sit at home , known to
( G )
shout at my tvand
( Bm )
punk rock didn’t live up to what i
( A )
hoped that it could be
and all the
( Em )
things that i believed with all my
( G )
heart when i was young
are just
( Bm )
coasters for beers and clean
( A )
surfaces for drugs
and i
( G )
packed all my
( Em )
pamflets with my
( G )
bibles at the
( A )
back of the
( D )
shelf

verse 2

( same chords )
except for last line –

( G )
hung up my
( Em )
banner in
( G )
disgust and i
( A )
head for the
( G )
door
( A )

chorus
oh but
( D )
once we were
( A )
young , and we were
( Bm ) crass enough to
( G ) care
but i guess you
( Em )
live and learn
( A ) ,
we won’t make that
( Em )
mistake again ,
( A )
no
oh but
( D )
surely just for one
( A )
day , we could
( Bm )
fight and we could
( G )
win
and if only for A
( Em ) little while ,
( A )
we could insist on the
( Em )
impossible
( A )

bridge

well we’ve

( Bm )
been a good few hours drinking so i’m going to
( A )
say what everyone’s thinkng if we’re
( G )
stuck on this ship and it’s
( D )
sinking then we
( Em )
might as well
( A )
have A
( D )
parade

cos if it’s
( Bm )
still going to hurt in the morning and A
( A )
better plan’s yet to get forming then
( G )
wheres the harm in spending an
( D )
evening in
( Em )
manning the
( A )
old barri –
( G )
cades
