[Verse 1]
G      C         G/B    C
We are young and we are weak
G       C        G/B    C
Just as blank as we are bleak
G       C    G/B    C
Too far gone in our heads
G      C        G/B         C
We all live and work in the red
 
 
[Chorus]
      G  C  G/B  C
We're cold
G        C      G/B        C
We had done all we've been told
        G    C   D       G
There's no court for our case
     G        C       D         G
What failure gave us suits our taste
 
 
[Break]
G    C    G/B    C
G    C    G/B    C
G    C    G/B    C
G    C    G/B    C
 
 
[Verse 2]
G      C     G/B    C
We all bend, we all break
G      C       G/B     C
We all forfeit what we make
G       C    G/B    C
Too far gone in our heads
G      C        G/B         C
We all live and work in the red
 
 
[Chorus]
      G  C  G/B  C
We're cold
G        C      G/B        C
We had done all we've been told
        G    C   D       G
There's no court for our case
     G        C      G/B        C
What failure gave us suits our taste
G          C     D      G
There's no money to our names
G     C      G/B     C
Empty pockets to our graves
        G    C   D       G
There's no court for our case
     G        C      G/B        C
What failure gave us suits our taste
 
 
[Outro]
G    C    G/B    C

Banjo (Capo II):
 
For the intro, play this four times:
D|---5---4---2---0---------------------|
B|-0---0---0---0---0-----0---0-----0---|
G|-------------------2/4---0---------0-|
D|-----------------------------0h2-----|
G|-------------------------------------|
 
Then repeat the G lick four times:
D|-----------------------------------------|
B|-0-----0---0-----0---0-----0---0-----0---|
G|---------0---------0---------0---------0-|
D|---0h2-------0h2-------0h2-------0h2-----|
G|-----------------------------------------|
 
The banjo drops out for the verses, but you can
also follow the guitar chords if you so desire.
 
During the chorus, drop out for the first line,
and then come in with this:
D|---5---4---5---7---9---4---5-----|
B|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
 
Drop out again for the third line, and then return
for the fourth with something along these lines:
D|---12-------12-------12-------12-|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
 
For the first break, play the intro melody four
times. A variant can be played as follows:
D|---5---4---2---0---------------------|
B|-0---0---0---0---0-----0---0-----0---|
G|-------------------2/4---0---------0-|
D|-----------------------------0h4-----|
G|-------------------------------------|
 
For the second break, play the intro melody once
before altering it with a roll:
D|---5---4---2---0---2-----2-----2-----2-----|
B|-0---0---0---0-------3-----3-----3-----(3)-|
G|-----------------4-----4-----4-----4-------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
 
Alternatively, this variant can be played with
pull-offs:
D|---5---4---2---0---2p0---2p0---2p0---2(p0)-|
B|-0---0---0---0---0-----0-----0-----0-------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
 
For the outro, play the intro melody until the
end, occasionally replacing it with its variants.
