Now everything gets faster you don't do the strumming
Play the chords where they are under the words
 
Should I stay or should I go now
e|----------------------------2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2----------------|
B|----------------------------3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3----------------|

B|--------3-3-3-----------------3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3----------------------|
G|--------2-2-2-----------------0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2----------------------|
D|------------------------------0-0-0-0-------------------------------|
A|------------------------------2-2-2-2-------------------------------|
E|------------------------------3-2-2-2-------------------------------|
 
If I go there will be trouble
E|--2-2-2--------------3-3-3---1-1-1--3-3-3----------------------------|
B|--3-3-3--------------0-0-0---1-1-1--0-0-0----------------------------|
G|--2-2-2--------------0-0-0---2-2-2--0-0-0----------------------------|
D|---------------------0-0-0---3-3-3--0-0-0----------------------------|
A|---------------------2-2-2----------2-2-2----------------------------|
E|---------------------3-3-3----------3-3-3----------------------------|
 
And if I stay it will be double
