Brian apparently only plays two string power chords (EA), even on an acoustic... This
way is better (imho), providing you can hit the G# thing.
It is technically a G#/E if you are wondering.

You moved to New York to meet a beautiful girl
and drink fancy cocktails without a care in the world

So you find one and tell it things you're dying to tell
We got high as hell, and I forget how it went
It was a song about love at the time it made sense
When the side ended we just layed there in bed
You would have fallen asleep but I stayed up and read
I made a list of everything I said I never meant
Considered all the things I never said but I digress
I got dressed kissed your forehead and left
You called me when you woke but I was sleeping off the meds

All chords are two string power chords, except for G* and C*, which are single notes.
You and Cme, we could never Gbe

The only Ething that'd shut me up now:
your Fhands around my throat
You and your friends feel Cfree
And you're Gway too cool for me
And you do Cdrugs now
And all your Gproblems run so deep
And we were Csmoking in the basement
At your Gbest friend's brother's party
And you Clove them because they treat you
Like you Gknow what the fuck you're talking about
And you and Eme, we could never Ftake this approach
The only Ething that'd shut me up now:
Your Fhands around my throat
Swear I Elove you
Until the Fvery, very end.

For this to Cever become true
And this is Faugme officiaGauglly giving up oCn you
We've wasted Faugtoo much time with stGaugupid lies
I'm getting Cshitfaced in your room.
I've got dreams where I Cbleed
And I Gchoke myself to sleep
And I hear Cscreams
It's the Gsecrets that you keep
And I am Clearning that your secrets
They Greally don't mean shit to anyCone
But you and your Gfriends
And you and Eme, we could never Ftake this approach

A great song from their first release I Hate My Friends.
DSqueeze,B squeeze, squeeze!
Squeeze my Darms a little tighter
Let me Fknow I'm still alive
Cause you're the Bonly one here keeping both my Aeyes open tonight
And I Dknow that we got problems
Who are Fthey to criticize
If I Btell you all my secrets would you Atell me all your lies
And when I Dstop writing her letters
I want her to Fknow that it's because
I have Bsomeone that makes me feel the same eAxact way that she does
And I will Dnot deny the privilege to someone Felse who wants my love
I have Bstitched a mask of confidence and I'll Awear it like a glove
And a Gman that knows what he's talking, Espoke to me today
He said that nGo ones going to listen until you mean Eevery word you say
So if Gyou can't find the feeling, you Ebetter learn to lie
And if you Gknow we're gonna fail, then there's no Epoint to even try
No point to tryD, no point tFry, no point to Btry, no point to Atry
DI don't get it for real, this isF blowing my mind
We keep Bsaying we're unhappy and they keep Asaying that we're fine
I guess Dpain will be the only thing I eFver get to bring
But I will Bsend it through the air like a loosely Agripped baseball bat swing
All I ever Dwanted was something different, maybeF by another name
We could Bset ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame
GSo keep clapping and dancing
Let them Eknow you're still alive and if you're Gtired of giving up
At least make them Ethink that you survived
So keep Glaughing, its not funny but at Eleast you don't have to cry
When you Gwake up in the morning and you Eknow you're still alive
You're still Dalive, you know you're still Falive
You're still Balive, you know you're Astill alive
Until we Dbreak down, til we Fshut down
Until the Bweight of our lifeless bodies hit theA ground
Until we Dbreak down, til we Fshut down
Until the Bweight of our lifeless bodies hit theA ground
Until we Dbreak down, til we Fshut down
Until the Bweight of our lifeless bodies hit theA ground
And a Gman that knows what he's talking, Espoke to me today
He said that Gno ones going to listen until you mean Eevery word you say
So if Gyou can't find the feeling, you beEtter learn to lie
And if you Gknow we're gonna fail, then there's little Epoint to even try
Little point to Gtry
