I Apologize Chords

Worked the song out with an acoustic guitar with help from MTinnell86's tab V1. Also sounds good on electric, I didn't look at how Mould plays it exactly but the full chords give you that "sheets of noise" sound versus just 2/3-finger power chords. C can be used instead of all the Csus2 chords, but the contrast of the two makes the chorus's C major pop a little more.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	intermediate

[Intro]
D
 
[Main riff]
G D Csus2 D x4
 
[Verse 1]
G         D     Csus2     D             G       D   Csus2  D
All these crazy mixed up lies, they're floating all around
G      D        Csus2    D         G D Csus2 D
Making these assumptions brings me d-o-o-own
Csus2       D
And you get tight-lipped
       G               Fsus2
How do I know what you think?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Csus2        G           D
Is it something I said when I lost my mind?
   Csus2      G      D          Csus2     G    D
My temper too quick, makes me blind      ...   I apolo-

I a-po-lo-gize
G Am C G  D   D  D  D

G   Am  C  D
Said I'm sorry
    D                                      Am
Now it's your turn, can you look me in the eyes
         C
And apologize? (How 'bout it?)
 
[Main riff]
G D Csus2 D x4
 
 
[Verse 2]
G      D    Csus2 D             G         D   Csus2 D
   So now we sit  around, we're staring at the walls
G     D       Csus2  D  G  D  Csus2 D
   We don't do anything at all
Csus2        D                      G                Fsus2
Take out the garbage maybe, but the dishes don't get done

Is it something I said when I lost my mind?
