[Intro]
Bb-Gm-F-D#
e|----4---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----4---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6--4--3--9---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-8--6--4--9---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-9--6--4--7---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-7--4--0------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(Repeat the intro with proper strumming until you hear "But neither will ever happen" on the D# chord)
(You play this for the chorus then you repeat the intro/verse for verse 2)
e|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--3--9--9----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6--4--9--9----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6--4--7--7----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(When he gets to the spoken word ("consider this the repercussion...") part, play this order)
(the strumming is very weird here and chords change ALOT so try to listen carefully)
e|--4--------------4--------------4--------------4-------------------------------|
B|--4--------------4--------------4--------------4-------------------------------|
G|--4--3--9--3-----4--3--9--9-----4--6--9--3-----4--3--9--3----------------------|
D|--6--4--9--4-----6--4--9--9-----6--8--9--4-----6--4--9--4----------------------|
A|--6--4--7--4-----6--4--7--7-----6--9--7--4-----6--4--7--4----------------------|
E|--4--0-----0-----4--0-----------4--7-----0-----4--0-----0----------------------|
 
(After he screams "Make me the bad guy", the tone goes clean for the first chord (Gm) only then
distortion again other than that its a regular chorus)
 
(After the second chorus you play the bridge which is a little weird)
(First you play these two chords and hold them (use a lot of verb on clean tone))
e|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--3----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(Then distortion here)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--8------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--7------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(Then clean again here during the drum fills)
e|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--4-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--4--3----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6--4----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--4--0----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(Then distortion until the clean chorus)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--8------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--7------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(After that you play the chorus clean once and then distorted once before the outro which
is a continuation of the chorus so it's very easy to figure out.)
