it’s a nice song to play on an acoustic guitar . if brendan’s voice is too high for you
playing it with a capo on the 3th or 4th fret . have fun .

there’s a strange chord i don’t know the name of ( i’ll just call it “s” for strange )

what’s that sound in the parking lot someone’s getting sick
F C G
but the beards just gather ’round to get another picture of his dick
F Am G
around the corner there’s a party with a million pretty girls
F
black and blue , tattooed and bruised , weary with the world

C G F C
this high life is running at full steam
C G F C
come on everyone and live the high life with me
Am F C F
i’m not gonna stop until the devil falls asleep
F G C
tonight is the march of the meek

C G F G
i feel the sparks on my teeth and in my veins
C G F G
summers spent in basements , smoking in the rain
F C G
number fifteen and anthony , when will i see you again?
F C G
when is the next time we can raise our voices with our friends
F Am G
if i promise just to love you , promise me you’ll always change
F
it’s more than a blackout , or remembering names
