VERSES
Play the 'VERSE' guitar part 6 times and bass part 3 times with the
the following lyrics. The '*' indicates where the bass changes
notes:

I woke up on the wrong side of the floor
* *
Made, made my way to the front door
* *
Broke my engagement with myself (Go to HOOK)

I got a new start on a dead end road
* *
Peaked, peaked out regendered load(?)
* *
Owed, paid up all my debts to myself (Go to HOOK)
HOOK
-Guitar and Bass Line
Ab: 55555555/33333333 (play 3 times)
* *
Perfect picture of bad health
* *
Another notch scratched on my belt
* *
The future just aint what it used to be
(The future's in my living room)
-Repeat VERSE and HOOK parts above (Guitar part is slightly louder
this time around.
CHORUS
-Guitar
Hear are the chords that you will need:
G C D E
X X X X
X X X X
X 5 7 9
5 5 7 9
5 3 5 7
3 3 5 7

-Bass play chorus 4 times and then end on Ab:-7-
That's pretty much the whole song. The strumming patterns probably not
exact, just listen to the CD and you'll get a feel for the right patterns.
The bassline is pretty simplified because I'm not a true bass player. I
know Mike Dirnt adds his stuff in between, but I just gave the basic idea.
