Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
FACGCE tuning
not particularly sure about the notes for the chord-y parts, but i think they sound good
with the song. i think the bass fills in a lot of the harmony so the guitar could be
playing a lot less notes than it actually is in these chords.
anyway, strumming patterns are pretty inexact and they get changed up every
now and then in the actual song too, so improvise/listen to the song if unsure.
[Intro] (0:00)
(you don't have to play the ghost notes in this section if you don't want to,
i think it sounds better with them, but they might not be in the actual song)
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + etc

Life's just a pissing contest
And nobody exists on purpose
Things might not get any better
But they might get a little easier
You make me feel like a bug who has lived a full life
Like a bee who has never had to sacrifice it's stinger
If you have the time, call me when you can
Life's just a pissing contest
And nobody exists on purpose
If you have no idea where you're going, it's fine
Neither does anyone
Maybe we could go together
