I'm not quite sure about Carlo's guitar in the intro,which is lead but here's Meg's Rhythm guitar:

[F#m], [B] -x2

When I was younger, [F#m]I wish that I would have known better.                          [B]

Better love makes a fat romance, that last for more than a shoe shine
I'm [F#m]older, took all the words from my mother, saying,  [B]

It could be worse you could be born with that disease instead of catching it

first.

Lead In:
So let's go b[Ebm]ack, to the first time, that I met you, in yo[C#sus2]ur Chevy, with
your hand[F#m]s stretched, and me crying, screaming,"Mercy, mercy."             [C#5]                    [C#5]
But I kn[Ebm]ow that, I was put here, to fight Vikings, in a col[C#sus2]d war, with my
a[F#m]rms out, in the front lines, singing, "Dare me, dare [C#5]me"         [C#5]

But these things take time love    [B]
These things take backbon[F#m]e
And they tell yo[Ebm]u what you want to hear cause they think it's better. Better    [C#5]                 [C#5]
But you better know how [B]to point out the liars.                  [F#m]
You've got t[Ebm]o weigh your wars make sure you're not fighting for
[C#5]nothing. Nothing.

Are you fighting for nothing?

Second Verse:
It feels like this world[F#m] has been slowly growing upside down             [B]

Maybe I should move to China, and straighten this mess out.
Maybe I'll be a poet   [F#m]
Watch all the skys for falling words[B]

and write about my grandma's curtains, or the lady who put the Chinese

buffet in her purse.

Lead In:

I've got my [Ebm]mouth, it's a weapon, it's a bombshell, it's a[C#sus2] cannon, I've got
my wor[F#m]ds, I won't give them mercy. Mercy.  [C#5]

But these things take time love    [B]
These things take backb[F#m]one
And they tell y[Ebm]ou what you want to hear cause they think it's better. Better          [C#5]                  [C#5]
But you better know how[B] to point out the liars.              [F#m]
You've got t[Ebm]o weigh your wars make sure you're not fighting for
[C#5]nothing. Nothing.

Are you fighting for nothing?

Strum these chords: [Ebm], [C#sus2], [F#m],[C#sus2]

(Strum the first four chords once.)
I've got  m[Ebm]y words. I hope  they  hur[C#sus2]t you. I hope they  scar you. I hope [F#m]
they  [C#sus2]heal you.

(Start strumming again.)
I hope they cut yo[Ebm]u open, make you see that your warring for all the wrong               [C#sus2]

reasons.
Make you see some things are worth bruising for.             [F#m]
Make you see that your name is your honor code.             [C#sus2]
Make you see that your hands your accounted for.          [Ebm]
Pick and choose where your sweat and blood will go                [C#sus2]
Make you see that your life's not to be lived alone           [F#m]
Run their [C#sus2]spit through your hair, you're worth nothing. Nothing   [C#5]
