[Verse]
F Cadd4/F
It feels completely ridiculous that I’m a willing participant,
Bb
gazing at the purple and pinks in the shadow of a bank-sponsored skyline.
F Cadd4/F
“Unite against the establishment! (while drones transmit the images
Bb
to a server farm in the valley for a culture that will eat its own insides.)”
[Chorus]
Dm A/C# F A
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm A/C# F A
they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm A/C# F A
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
Bb G
if you didn’t have something they could
[Verse]
F Cadd4/F
Take a long look at the billboards that smother the air ‘til you can’t ignore ‘em
Bb
and glamorize department store crust-punk-chic ‘cause Satan’s trending up and
it’s Fashion Week, but
F
this this is not a movement. It’s just careful entertainment for an easy
Cadd4/F
demographic
in our sweatshop denim jackets and we’ll
Bb
wonder, “What just happened?!” when the world becomes Manhattan where the banks
steal the apartments
just to render them abandoned.
[Chorus]
Dm A/C# F A
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm A/C# F A
they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm A/C# F A
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,

if you didn’t have something they could take.

F A
We’re not stupid people but this financial oppression has got
Dm B/D#
everyone believing all that we can do is nothing ‘cause
Bb F/A
we organize through avenues they lace with advertisements
G B/D#
so the ones we try to rage against are still lining their pockets.
[Chorus]

Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
N.C.

version 2
Capo:no capo
The song uses a baritone guitar for the most part, but I'm just going to write
down you'd play it with a
standard guitar. Also, this is a dumbed down version, too. In the verses, he
plays a riff while playing F5
power chord with the bottom note and the same goes for the Bb5 power chord. So
just experiment with those
till it sounds like the songs riff.

[Intro]
F5 Fmaj7 Fsus2 F5
Bb5 Gm7 Bb5 Bbmaj7
[Verse]
F5*
It feels completely ridiculous
Fmaj7 Fsus2
that I’m a willing participant,
Bb5 Gm7 Bb5 Bbmaj7
gazing at the purple and pinks in the shadow of a bank-sponsored skyline.
F5*
“Unite against the establishment!™
Fmaj7 Fsus2
(while drones transmit the images
Bb5 Gm7 Bb5 Bmaj7
to a server farm in the valley for a culture that will eat its own insides.)”
[Chorus]
D5 C#5 F5 A5
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
D5 C#5 F5 A5
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
D5 C5 F5 A5
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
Bb5
if you didn’t have something they could take.
[Verse]
F5* Fmaj7 Fsus2
Take a long look at the billboards that smother the air ‘til you can’t ignore ‘em
Bb5 Gm7
and glamorize department store crust-punk-chic
Bb5 Bbmaj7
‘cause Satan’s trending up and it’s Fashion Week but
F5*
this is not a movement. It’s just careful entertainment for an easy demographic
in our sweatshop denim jackets
Bb5
and we’ll wonder, “What just happened?!” when the world becomes Manhattan
where the banks steal the apartments just to render them abandoned.
[Verse]
D5 C#5 F5 A5
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
D5 C#5 F5 A5
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
D5 C5 F5 A5
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
Bb5 F5 A5 D5 Bb5 x3
if you didn’t have something they could take.
[Interlude]
F5 A5 D5 F5* Bb5 A5 G5 D#5
[Bridge]
F5 A5 D5
We’re not stupid people but this financial oppression has got everyone believing
F5*
all that we can do is nothing
Bb5 A5
‘cause we organize through avenues they lace with advertisements
G5 D#5
so the ones we try to rage against are still lining their pockets.
[Chorus]
D5~
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
N.C.
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
D5 C5 F5 A5
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
Bb5 F5 A5 D5 Bb5 x3
if you didn’t have something they could take.
