I'm kinda sick so I thought I'd finally figure out this song.
This is what I've got so far… I'm way too lazy and (believe it or not) too busy to lift
the solo and all the cool backing shit that they do. But it's enough for you to sing
with it. And that's all I want to do right now!
Enjoy!
Notes in parentheses are harmonies (they're optional)
That "beat" line below the tab denotes down beats. …Or when you should tap your foot.
Played fast. With kind of a shuffle feel.

You can play either full chords or power chords.
Should still work.
AmNothing feels right
F Am(intro riff)
but my fake smiles paint pictures like everything's fine
Amthe cheap line wasn't told
so they've got sFpindles spinning bad songs into gAmold
aCnd who dFecides what's wrong oGr right?F G#
when the Dpuzzle pieces twist G
and seem like tAmhey won't fit their Fmatch
Di'll be waiting, Fi'll be waitiAmng C F
A/Dand all the best songs
Fwhat's the best about them?
INTRO RIFF
Ami thought i was part of something more
but mFore money, less substance, more deAmmand
not for great songs, that no one understands
you Fcan't lay brick on wet cement
or build caAmstles out of sand C
buFt who decGides? F G#
but when the pDuzzle pieces twGist
and seem like they Amwon't fit their mFatch
then i will Dtry and try agGain
and hope that someAmone understanFds
Di'll be waiting, Fi'll be waiting
Amand they can say they lGove you
but it Cstill won't change a Fthing
cause the Ftides may F#turn A#tomorArow
andF i won't beG there tCo look
Ami can say
Ci've got to say
Something around F?
dollar by dollar your soul gets smaller
Possibly G#?
trending what we've fought to make ours
Cthey don't care about C/B
they don't care
it's a gFood thing that trends fade away
it's Amso much cooler iGn the shade
And repeat that C > C/B > F > Am > G until the end!
End on C (both when they stop in the middle and at the end the song)
And just for kicks, here's the start of that solo. it should be in C.
V(pinch harmonic?)
