VERSE 1: (Just play the 2nd part of the intro just above for the verse)
F#5 E5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5
On a mission, made my decision, to lead a path of self-destruction
F#5 E5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5 F#5
Slow progression, killing my complexion, and it's rotting out my teeth
CHORUS:
A5 E5 A5 E5
I'm on a roll, no self-control,
A5 E5 A5 E5
I'm blowin off steam, with methamphetamine.
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
Don't know what I want, That's all that I've got
F#5 E5 F#5
And I'm pickin' scabs off my face
INTERLUDE: (Just play the cool verse chords)
VERSE 2: (Play like verse 1)
Every hour, my blood is turning sour, and my pulse is beating out of time.
I found a treasure, filled with sick pleasure, and it sits on a thin white line.
CHORUS: (Play like previous chorus)
I'm on a roll, no self-countrol,
I'm blowin off steam, with methamphetamine.
Don't know what I wnat, that's all that I've got
And I'm pickin scabs off my face.
INTERLUDE:
F#5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5
VERSE 3: (Play the same chords as other verses, but not palm-muted this time, just all out)
I'm on a mission, I got no decision, like a cripple running the rat race.
Wish in one hand, sh!t in the other, and see which one gets filled first.
CHORUS: (Play like previous choruses)
I'm on a roll, no self-countrol,
I'm blowin off steam, with methamphetamine.
Don't know what I wnat, that's all that I've got
And I'm pickin scabs off my face.
OUTRO: (Played like the interlude, then the intro)
F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5
F#5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5
GEEK! STINK! BREATH!
And that's the end of the song. It's pretty easy, just like most green day songs.
They usually just use power chords, not many solos. Alright guys have one! later!
