Chorus:
E B
And then you'll be stoned in some park
C#m E
Just nodding your head and pinching your arm
F#m B
When a girl Walks alone, she's humming your song

With your t-shirt on and that's when you're done
Pre Distorted Part: "That's when you're done that's when you're done part"

same chords as the first verse but this time its distorted and no palm muting
CHorus:
E5 B5
The quiet can scrape all the calm from your bones,
C#5 E(ii)5
but maybe it should. Maybe we need to be hollowed
F#5 B5
to get up and grow, and stop fucking around,
C#5 E(ii)5
to kick off our braces and start straightening out.
E5
Let's sift through the static
B5
to find a simpler sound
C#5
Let's sift through the static
E(ii)5
to find a simpler sound...
F#5 (the rest repeates the chords from the chorus once more)
simpler sound than the shit that's clouding our heads now

And they get torn up,
And laid again,
But the bricks always get torn up again.
Your friends won't wait,
So don't believe that shit,
When they say they'll wait.
Trust me; your friends will not wait for you.
Then you'll be stoned in some park,
Just nodding your head and pinching your arms,
When a girl walks along.

Oh, that's when you're done.

All the calm from your bones,

To find a simpler sound
Let's sift through the static
To find a simpler sound.
Simpler sound than the shit that's clouding our heads now.
