These are the basic chords. John kind of walks up and down between them as he plays. He also does a little baseline riff on the E and A string before the chorus that I did not include, but this is the basic version. Great lyrics and a real fun song to play! Enjoy. Intro: G chord structure variation. Play regular G, use 1st finger on the high e string 2nd fret, then strum with e and b string open, then finish with pinky on b string 3rd fret. Mess with it, you'll hear it when it's right. Verse 1
LeGt's go out tonight like it is last yD7ear, like eveEmrything's alright and it is laCte last year, we'Amll walk around this planet till we're hCome, we'll both
get oD7ld, Let'sG go out to the ball and see em aD7ll dressed up, I'll tEmell you that you're pretty,we'll get aCll messed up, weAm'll talk about the future,
weC'll call ourselves the future and we'll mD7ean it. It's been a restless several yGears, full of ignorance and feD7ars, I think
it's time for you to Emgo,I think it's over and you knCow, you had a nice impressive rAmun, you had your way,you had your fCun, I wasted hours with your
toD7ngue. It's like I never learned to lGove, no one ever walked me thD7rough it, no one taught me how to Emdo it,no one told me that it's rCeal, and it's
not enough to fAmeel, it's not enough to proCmise, it's not enough to tD7ry
Chorus
DI know I'm not the only oCne, DI just can't be the onlCy Emone, D C Em D G (variation like Intro) I know I'm not the only one who knows.
(The same chords progression throughout. Listen to song to pick up on the strumming rhythm.) Verse 2 I been looking up my future on the world wide web, looking up my history on the world wide web, I read the transcripts of the Lincoln & Douglas Debates, It's like all of the sudden there were Germans. Acres and acres of Germans. Hilarious Germans, their english was pretty good! They came into this country, the spread it with disease, they killed too many trees, maybe everyone agrees, you can't win when you're old, you can't win when you're angry, you can't do everything you're told. It's not a sign from above, it's not from anyone you love, it's not a bird it's not a car, it's not afraid of what you are, it's not a place it's not a plane, it's not a God, it's not a name, don't waste your money or your time. Chorus Verse 3 But you see there's no one left for you to turn to now, and you know there's someone new you better learn from now, your mothers too afraid...your fathers not alive anymore. I want it to be perfect, I want it to be right, I wanna fall in love and its gotta be tonight. I dont care if its you, I don't care if it's her, I don't care if it's both of you. It must be hard to be a mormon, I know they get a lotta shit. I've thought a lot about it and i think we should admit...it'd be nice to have 5 wives, it'd be nice to have 5 husbands, it'd be nice to live in Utah. But you don't wanna fight, cause you don't wanna loose, and I don't have a choice, so I don't wanna choose and I came to let you know, I came to let you go, I came to tell you so. So let's go out tonight like it is last year, like it's winter your nervous and it's late last year. I'll kiss you on the ferris wheel, I'll hold you out over the ocean. Baseline bridge using 5th and 6th string. (Listen to song or just skip it.) In the middle of April, I was willing and able. I was under the table, in over my head, I could never remember, if it was early December or later November when it started again. Chorus.
