this is my first tab but it sounds perfect to me
verse-
C
Trouble travels fast
Am
When you’re specially designed for crash testing
G
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
F
Come on and tell us what you’re trying to prove
C
Because it’s a battle when you dabble in war
Am
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
G
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
F
And send it to somebody who’s pretending to care
C
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
Am
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
G
Over conversations relationships are overrated
F
“I hated everyone” said the sun
C
And so I will cook all your books
You’re too good looking and mistooken
Am
You could watch it instead
G
From the comfort of your burning beds
F
…Or you can sleep through the static
chorus-
C G Am
Who needs sleep when we’ve got love?
F G C
Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
C G Am
Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
F G C
Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
C G Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
F G C
We went beyond where we should have gone
verse- same as above
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Waiting for things that never came
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
And either you’re weak or you’ll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we say not as we do
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
That’s no way to treat an enemy
Well mighty mighty appetite
we just eat ‘em up and keep on driving
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Mind your manners wave your banners
What a wonderful world that this angle can see
chorus-
C G Am
But who needs to see what we’ve done?
F G C
Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
C G Am
Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
F G C
Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
C G Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
F G C
Beyond where we should have gone
C G Am
We went beyond where we should have gone
F G C
Beyond where we should have gone
guitar solo out from here but you can just end with C,G,A, F,G,C with the
same rythym as the last line and play each chord once

Just a few corrections... I'm not sure about the chorus, but in the verses your G chord should actually be Em. Also, Jack goes into the chorus by sliding the final F barre chord of the verse to a G barre. So, for example, to go into the first chorus it's:
(Em) Or you could sleep through the static (F/G)
+1

He deffinatly slides to a G before going in to the chorus, and the G in the verses should be an Em. Otherwise, this tab is perfect.
+1

On the last verse..."freedom can't be free so take a picture from the pretty side." Not "freezing."
