Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse chords

 Well a teacher of mine once told me

That life was just a list of

 disappoints and defeats

And you could

 only do your best,

And I said

 "That's a fucking cop-out, you're just washed up and your tired, and when

  I get to your age I

 won't be such a coward"

But these

 days I sit at home, known to

 shout at my TVAnd

 Punk Rock didn't live up to what I

 hoped that it could be

And all the

 things that I believed with all my

 heart when I was young

Are just

  coasters for beers and clean

 surfaces for drugs

And I

 packed all my

 pamflets with my

  bibles at the

 back of the

 shelf

Chorus

Oh but

 once we were

 young, and we were

Bm crass enough to

  care

But I guess you

  live and learn

 we won't make that

 mistake again,

 no

Oh but

 surely just for one

 day, we could

 fight and we could

  win

And if only for a

  little while,

 we could insist on the

 impossible

Bridge

Well we've

 been a good few hours drinking so I'm going to

 say what everyone's thinkng If we're

 Stuck on this ship and it's

 sinking then we

 Might as well

 Have

 Parade

Cos if it's

 Still going to hurt in the morning and a

 Better plan's yet to get forming Then

 Wheres the harm in spending an

 Evening in

 Manning the

 Old barri-

 Cades
