If you're just playing chords, use the chords above, but palm mute most of it. Chorus ------ E--4---|-----------------------------| B--5---|-----------------------------| G--6---|--7---9---7---9--------------| D--6---|--7---9---7---9---4--4--2----| A--4---|--5---7---5---7---4--4--2----| E------|------------------2--2--0----| Play a clean twice on the "Young enough..." bit, letting it ring. Repeat the rest of it as necessary. You can play the or the last E higher up if you like (makes it easier to get back to the , but I think it sounds a bit better lower down. Of course, I haven't shown any timing, but I'm sure you can figure that out yourself.

The first and last time, don't play the bit. Again, I'm sure you can figure this out easily enough listening to the song. Oh, and be sure to get out your whistle, and blow it just before heading back into the chorus. :) Outro ----- E------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------ G-----7-7-6-6-7-7-6---7-7-6-6-7-7-6--6----- D-----7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7----- A-----5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5--7----- E------------------------------------5----- The outro is really just 2 sets of the verse chords, ending with the above. Lyrics ------ Intro/Verse: So what exactly are you saying You'd like to live your life between the sheets And no destination The hours getting way past getting late Defy the public opinion You're talking big it comes too easily I'm not prepared to entertain You salivate when someone tells it straight Young enough to always push your luck I keep my fingers crossed you keep them up Chorus: Got a reason to get up this morning Got inspired by the fear of being last Don't deny your criminal past Verse: So what exactly are ya saying You'd like to live your life by talking cheap It's no consolation The hours getting way past getting late And so it's time to forget all the people There's too much to regret But now it's carved in stone You should just hang up the phone forever You've been arrested and you've been inspected But you're... Young enough to always push your luck I keep my fingers crossed you keep them up Chorus: Got a reason to get up this morning Got inspired by the fear of being last Don't deny your criminal past Verse chords: Yeah, your criminal past etc. Outro:
