[Intro]
C G D7 F*
[Verse 1]
C F
I sat along the rocks, I watched the cold Maine water rush away.
C G G#dim
The sun and my guitar and I knew what you were doing yesterday.
Am F7
You broke those promises but I’ll get over it.
Am G
‘Cause as long as I’m breathing fresh air I really don’t give a shit.
C F G
But I’ll get mad for the next ten years, but realize sometimes things are great.
[Verse 2]
C F
I didn’t have directions, I hadn’t eaten anything all day.
C G G#dim
We sucked a fat one and wasted a hundred dollars just to play.
Am F7
Ate a bag of peanuts, before the windy road.
Am G
And I couldn’t drink a thing all night because of the vomit in my throat.
C F G
Then you gave me your sweatshirt and your number, sometimes things are great.
[Hook]
C
Ba ba-ba ba-ba ba ba, ba ba-ba ba-ba ba ba
G
Ba ba-ba ba-ba ba ba, ba ba-ba ba-ba ba ba
D7
Ba ba-ba ba-ba ba ba, ba ba-ba ba-ba ba ba
F7 G
You don’t own me! You don’t own me!
[Verse 3]
C F
I worked my ass off my entire life to accomplish my dream.
C G G#dim
It started happening and everything got bastardized by greed.
Am F7
I said “pull this shit over and let me out
Am G
I swear to fucking God I’m fucking giving up right now”
C F G
And now I’ve got a brand new start, and I realized sometimes things are great.
[Bridge]
C
Sing it in apartment halls
G
And shout this shit in shopping malls
D7 F7
Get a ball point pen and paint the insides of your eyelids with the constant reminder:
G
You don’t own me. You don’t own me.
[Instrumental Hook]
C G D7 F
[Verse 4]
C F
Then I was underground without food, sunlight, or encouragement.
C G G#dim
Depression set in, I was a product of my environment.
Am F7
And then the other day, you said "Jeff, get in your car
Am G
Yeah, pick Glenn Tillbrook up at the hotel and take him to the bar," and
Am F7
He wore a t-shirt just like me and he wasn’t on his phone
Am G
For fifteen fucking minutes I had a conversation with my hero.
C F
I’ll be mad for the next ten years...
C G
After that I’ll drink the beers until the bar runs out of beers
C G F N.C.
And prepare for the next twenty-three years.
[Outro]
C F Am F
C F D7 F
C F Am F
C F D7 F
C
And if I wasn’t a fat kid in high school
F
I would have never listened to punk rock.
Am
And if I knew how to throw a football,
F
I would have never played any music.
C
And if I never got my heart broken,
F
I would sing “blah blah fucking nothing.”
D7
And if you didn’t fuck my ex-girlfriend
F
I would still owe you three thousand dollars.
C
And if I never lived in that van then
F
I wouldn’t have met Chris or Steve, Alex, James or Middagh.
D7
And if I never worked in a basement,
F
I would have never quit my job.
C
And if I had a big emo band or
G C N.C.
Dropped out of college, I would have never met you, man.

Okay, to start off, I'd give this tab a 4.5/5. It is mostly accurate, and very good for someone who is new to tabbing.
Corrections:
1) Fairly certain this song is played using only bar chords. Jeff uses them a lot, and they make transitions a LOT easier.
2) The F* is a high F bar chord (x 8 10 10 10 8). It sounds right when I play it, at least.
3) During the "You don't own me! You don't own me!" part, you continue the high F chord (your "F*") for the first "You don't own me!" and then play a high G bar chord (x 10 12 12 12 10) for the second one.
4) Between the G and the Am during the verses, there's a transition chord (G# = 4 6 6 5 4 4) that I can definitely hear in the recording.
5) The final chord in the verses definitely sounds like a G to me (3 5 5 4 3 3).
6) The end part goes C F D7 F, without a doubt.
I think I'm just gonna make my own tab of it and upload, hahaha. But this tab helped me figure the whole thing out, so... Thanks, and good work!

If you guys are going to vote this down could you at least provide a reason? I tabbed this ages ago, and I just played it thru on guitar again. The tab is right, or very close. Not sure about F*, and there are bits where it may be a lil different, but otherwise it's fine.
So if you vote it down, at least say what's wrong and maybe provide a correction. Sheesh.
