 "insomniac"
 BY GREEN DAY
 This took me forever to get this on the computer. Other than that, I tabbed
 the song by ear in
 3omin. I was going to post on the 10th, but l just didn't have the time to
 type it all out. The timing
 and lyrics are probably off, because l tabbed it while l was still so fresh
 to the songs, but the
 powerchords are all right.
 "Armitage Shanks"
   Intro...strum the chord about 12 times....
 Verse 1:
 Stranded,  Lost inside  myself
 My  own worst friend,  my own closest  enemy
 Well  I'm branded,  maladjusted
 never  trusted  anyone let alone myself
 Chorus 1:
 I  must insist on ,  being a pessimist
 
 I'm  a loner, in a catastrophic mind
 Verse 2:
 Elected,  the rejected
 I  perfected the science  of the idiot
 Well  I'm branded, maladjusted
 never  trusted anyone  let alone myself
 Repeat Chorus 1
  ...........Say,hey,whoa..whoa..say,hey,whoa..whoa..sing!!
 Verse 3:
 No  meaning, and  no  healing
 Self  loathing freak and introverted  deviot
 Well  I'm branded, maladjusted
 I've  perfected the science  of the idiot
 Repeat Chorus 1
 Chorus 2:
 Well  I'm taking pressure  for other  pessimists
 I'm  a loner in a claustrophobic  mind.
 "Brat"
 Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
 they're  getting  over the hill,
 Death  is closing in  and catching up
 as  far as  I can tell,
 Got  a plan of action  and cold  blood
 and  it smells  of defiance,
 I'll  just wait for  Mom and  Dad to  die
 and  get my  inheritance.
 Now  I want more because  I'm  getting bored
 and  I'm going nowhere  fast,
 I  was once filled  with doubt  and now it's  all figured out
 
 
 that  nothing good can last.
 Crows  feet and rot  are setting  in
 and  time is  running  out,
 My  parents income  interest  rate
 is  gaining  higher  clout,
 I'm  a snot nosed sod  without  a job
 and  I know  I damn  well should,
 Mom  and Dad don't  look so  hot these  days
 but  my future's  looking  good.
 Now  I want more because  I'm  getting bored
 and  I'm going nowhere  fast,
 I  was once filled  with doubt  and now it's  all figured out
 
 
 that  nothing good can last.
 "Stuck with Me"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I'm  not part of your elite, I'm just alright
 
 Class  structure, Having colors
 
 Bleeding  from my throat
 I'm  not subservent to you, I'm just alright
 
 Downclassed,  by the powers that be
 
 Give  me loss of hope.
 Cast  out, buried in  a hole.
 Struck  down, forcing  me to fall.
 Destroyed,  giving  up the fight.
 And  l know i'm  not  alright.
 Verse2:
 
 What's  my price and will you pay, it if it's alright?
 
 Take  it from my dignity and
 
 waste  it till it's dead.
 Throw  me back into the gutter, 'cause it's alright
 
 Find  another pleasure fuck
 
 And  drag 'em down to hell.
 Cast  out, buried in  a hole.
 Struck  down, forcing  me to fall.
 Destroyed,  giving  up the fight.
 And  l know i'm  not  alright.
 Cast  out, buried in  a hole.
 Struck  down, forcing  me to fall.
 Destroyed,  giving  up the fight.
 And  l know i'm  not  alright.

 Don't worry it's all powerchords unless i say otherwise...
 NOTE: On the chorus, Ais X133XX, not 688XXX
 Intro/Riff:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I'm  on a mission, I made my decision
 
 
 
 to  lead a path of self destruction,
 
 
 
 A  slow progression, killing my complexion
 
 
 
 and  it's rotting out my teeth.
 I'm  on a roll,  no self  control
 I'm  blowing off steam  with methamphetamine,
 Don't  know what I want, and that's  all that  I've got
 and  I'm picking scabs  off my face.
 Verse2:
 
 
 
 (NO  WORDS)
 
 
 
 Every  hour ,my blood is running sour
 
 
 
 and  my pulse is beating out of time
 
 
 
 l  found a treasure, filled with sick pleasure
 
 
 
 and  it sits on a thin white line.
 I'm  on a roll,  no self  control
 I'm  blowing off steam  with methamphetamine,
 Don't  know what I want, and that's  all that  I've got
 and  I'm picking scabs  off my face.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Verse3:
 
 
 
 I'm  on a mission, I've got no decision
 
 
 
 to  lead a path of self destruction,
 
 
 
 Wish  in one hand, shit in the other
 
 
 
 and  see which one gets filled first.
 I'm  on a roll,  no self  control
 I'm  blowing off steam  with methamphetamine,
 Don't  know what I want, and that's  all that  I've got
 and  I'm picking scabs  off my face.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Geek,
 
 
 Stink,
 
 
 Breath...........
 "No Pride"
 
 I'm  just a  mutt,
 and  nowhere is my  home.
 Where  dignity's a  land mine,
 in  the school of lost  hope.
 I've  panhandled for  a life
 I'm  not afraid to  beg.
 Hand  me down your  lost and founds
 of  second hand regret.
 Pre- Chorus:
 You  better, swallow your pride,  or  you're  gonna choke on it.
 You  better digest your values,  because  they  turn to shit.
 Honor's  gonna knock you down,
 before  your chance to stand  up and fight.
 I  know I'm not the  one,
 I've  got no pride.
 Sects  of disconnection,
 and  traditions of  lost faith.
 No  culture's worth  a stream of piss,
 Or  a bullet in my  face.
 To  hell with unity,
 separation's  gonna  kill us all.
 Torn  to shreds and  disjointed,
 Before  the final fall.
 "Bab's Uvula Who?"
 
 
 
 I've  got a  knack for fucking  everything up.
 My  temper flies and I get  myself all wound up.
 My  fuse is short and  my blood pressure  is high.
 I  lose control and l get myself  all wound up.
 Tension  mounts and  l fly off the wall.
 l  self-destruct and l get  myself all wound up.
 Petulance  and irritation  sets in.
 I  throw a tantrum and l get  all wound up.
 My  temper flies and  I get myself all  wound up.
 I  lose control and  l get myself all  wound up.
 l  self-destruct and  l get myself all  wound up.
 I  throw a tantrum  and l get all wound  up.
 Chip  on my shoulder  and a leech on  my back.
 Stuck  in a rut and l get myself  all wound up.
 Killed  my composure  and it will never  come back.
 Loss  of control and l get  myself all wound up.
 Blown  out of proportion  again.
 My  temper snaps and l get  all wound up.
 Spontaneous  combustion,  panic attack.
 I  slipped a gear and l get  myself all wound up.
 "86"
 Pick Scrape<...
 
 What  brings you around?
 Did  you lose something last time you were here?
 You'll  never find it now.
 It's  buried deep with your identity.
 So  stand aside and  let the next one  pass.
 Don't  let the door  kick you in the  ass.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 Don't  even  try.
 Exit  out the back
 and  never show your head around here again.
 Purchase  your ticket and quickly take
 the  last train out of town.
 So  stand aside and  let the next one  pass.
 Don't  let the door  kick you in the  ass.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 There's  no  return  from 86.
 Don't  even  try.
 "Panic Song"
 Intro / Solo:
 Open A string...rapid...then
 
 
   XXXXXXXXXXX(MUTED STRINGS)
 Ready  for a cheap escape.
 On  the brink of self-destruction.
 Widespread  panic.
 Broken  glass inside  my head.
 Bleeding  down these  thoughts  of
 Anguish...  mass confusion.
 The  world is a sick machine
 breeding  a mass of shit.
 With  such a desolate conclusion.
 Fill  the void with...l don't  care.
 There's  a plague inside  of  me.
 Eating  at my disposition.
 Nothing's  left
 torn  out of reality.
 Into  a satate of no  opinion.
 Limp  with hate.
 "Stuart and the Ave."
 
 
 Standing  on the corner  of
 Stuart  and the Avenue.
 Ripping  up my transfer
 and  a photograph of  you.
 You  are a blur of  my dead past
 and  rotting existence.
 I  stand laughing on
 the  corner of insignificance.
 Destiny  is dead.
 In  the hands of bad  luck.
 Before  it might've  made some sense
   N.
 
 but  now it's all fucked up.
 Season  change as well
 as  well as minds.
 And  I'm a two Faced  clown.
 You're  mommy's little  nightmare
 driving  daddy's car  around.
 I'm  beat down
 and  half brain dead.
 The  long lost king  of fools,
 I  may be dumb.
 But  I'm not stupid  enough
 to  stay with  you.
 
 Destiny  is dead.
 In  the hands of bad  luck.
 Before  it might've  made some sense
   N.
 
 but  now it's all fucked up.
 "Brain Stew"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I'm  having trouble trying to sleep.
 
 
 I'm  counting sheep but running out.
 
 As  time ticks by,
 
 
 And  l still try.
 
 No  rest for crosstops in my mind.
 
 
 On  my own...here we go.
 
 My  eyes feel like they're going to bleed.
 
 
 Dried  up and bulging out my skull.
 
 My  mouth is dry.
 
 
 My  face is numb.
 
 Fucked  up and spun out in my room.
 
 
 On  my own...here we go.
  (PM)  xxx
  (PM)XXX
  (PM)  XXX
  (PM)  XXX
 NO  WORDS
 
 My  mind is set on overdrive.
 
 
 The  clock is laughing in my face.
 
 A  crooked spine.
 
 
 My  sense dulled.
 
 Passed  the point of delirium.
 
 
 On  my own...here we go.
 "Jaded"
 
 
 Somebody keep  my balance,
 I  think I'm  falling  off.
 Into  a state  of regression,
 The  expiration  date.
 Rapidly  coming  up,
 I'ts  leaving  me behind  to rank.
 Always  move forward,
 Going  straight  will get you  nowhere.
 There  is no progress,
 
 Evolution killed  it all.
 I  found my  place in  nowhere,
 I'm  taking  one step  sideways.
 Leading  wiht  my crutch,
 Got  a fucked  up equilibrium.
 Count  down  from 9  to 5.
 Hooray!  We're  gonna  die!
 Blessed  into  our extinction.
 "Westbound Sign"
 Boxed  up,  all of her  favorite things.
 Sold  the rest  at a  rainy yard sale.
 Big  plans  and leaving  friends
 and  a westbound  sign.
 Weighed  out,  her choices on  a scale.
 Prevailing,  nothing  made sense
 Just  transportation  and a  blank decision...
 She's  taking  off.
 She's  burnig  daylight  and petrol
 Heading  westward  on, strung  out
 On  confusion  road.
 And  ten minute  nervous  breakdowns
 Xanex  a beer  for thought,
 and  she determined...she's  taking off.
 Is  it salvation, or  an escape  from  discontent?
 Will  she find  her  name in  the California  cement?
 Punched  out  of the  grind that  punched  her
 one  too many  times.
 Is  tragedy  2000 miles  away?...She's  taking off...
 "Tight Wad Hill"
 Cheapskate  on the  hill.
 A  thrill seeker  making  deals.
 Sugar  city  urchin  wasting time.
 Town  of lunatics.
 Begging  for  another  fix.
 Turning  tricks  for  speedballs.
 One  more night.
 Making  your rounds  again.
 Turning  up empty handed.
 Bumming  a ride, Burning  daylight.
 Last  up @ dawn, tight  wad hill.
 Drugstore  hooligan.
 Another  white  trash  mannequin.
 On  display  to rot  up on the hill.
 Living  out  a lie.
 But  having  the time  of his life.
 Hating  every  minute  of his existence.
 "Walking Contradiction"
 
 
 Do  as l say  and not  as l do
 because  the shit's  so thick you can't  run away.
 I  beg to differ and  on the  contrary,
 l  agree with every  word that you say.
 Talk  is cheap and  lies are  expensive,
 My  wallet's fat and  so is  my head.
 Hit  and run and then  l'll  hit you  again,
 I'm  a smart-ass  but l'm playing  dumb.
 
 NO  WORDS
 Standards  set and broken all  the time,
 Control  the  chaos  from behind a gun.
 Call  it as l see it  even if
 I  was born deaf, blind  and  dumb.
 Losers  winning  big  on the  lottery,
 Rehab  rejects  still  sniffing glue.
 Constant refutation  with myself,
 I'm  a victim  of a  catch-22.
 I  have no  belief.
 
 
 But  I believe, I'm a walking contradiction.
 And,  l ain't got no  right.
 Well here it's the entire album (all 32 minutes and 55 seconds) with no
 mistakes, I hope =). I've only put the chords, if anyone thinks a TAB should
 be made (with rythms, times the chords are played, etc.) just mail me and
 I'll make it. Well, contrary to what most people think, I think this album is
 better than "Dookie" ("Dookie" is more comercial), it's better in ...
 EVERYTHING!!!!! Well, no more words, here it is.

Well here it's the entire album (all 32 minutes and 55 seconds) with no
mistakes, I hope =). I've only put the chords, if anyone thinks a TAB should
be made (with rythms, times the chords are played, etc.) just mail me and
I'll make it. Well, contrary to what most people think, I think this album is
better than "Dookie" ("Dookie" is more comercial), it's better in ...
EVERYTHING!!!!! Well, no more words, here it is.
