This is the longest tab I ever made. There could be mistakes, but it sounds good
to me! This song is available for free download from Quote Unquote Records.
[Verse]
[normal chords (and by this I mean barre chords starting from 3rd fret and up -
you want them close to each other because this song gets fast!)]
G D
Hey again, I hope you know you ruined my life.
C G
The bitterest words are never quite sincere.
Em G
But I gotta tell you one thing: it's all the same to me.
D C Cm G
It's in my blood and you don't feel the flow.
[ska chords (upstrokes)]
G D
I sat there, ignoring the ever-present real world,
C
wondering why people have to change all the time
Cm G
and about those who shift with the trends.
Em
Well, we both know I know better
G
than to point the blame at somebody else but myself,
D
so I'll put these words on the shelf
C G
with pictures of old friends.

[I skip the transitional chords below but don't forget to play them in every chorus!]
Em A
I can sit and ask myself what I'm doing wrong
C D7 G
but I'm right this time and these are my convictions
C D
that you're tearing down. I won't sell out, even though
G C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
D G
She's not with us anymore.
[Verse]
G D
I sat there feeling frustrated. The autumn sky was rapidly
C G
turning to dusk and I'm feeling so fucking alone in this world.
Em
You won't believe me when I tell you, but everything that I respect
G D C Cm G
is absent in you. So go shut me out and shut up as this scene rages on.
[Chorus]
[same transitions as before, but start with Em right away,
and notice the different ending]
Em A
I can't decide what to do with people like you.
C D7 G
I can't take it on the chin 'cause these are my convictions
C D
that you're tearing down. I won't give up even though
G C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
D Em D Em
He's not with us anymore. I'm not changing for the world.

[Chorus]
Em A
I take this mental anguish, fist thrown at my head.
C D
Because I'm right this time.
C D
Yeah, I'm right this time.
C D G
I'm so right this time. These are my convictions
C D
that you're tearing down. I won't give up even though
G C
it's all anyone in this world thinks we're good for now.
D Em D G
She's not with us anymore. I'm not changing for the world.
B
I'm not changing for the world as we
C G
go! go! go! go! go! fists first to the world.
C
Your concrete morals mold life's prison cells and
G F
with fashion as warden, you're prisoners in hell in your world.
G
Rot in hell in your world.
I'm not changing for your world.
