[D]I'm feeling rough  I'm feeling[G] raw I'm in the prime of my [D]life.
[D]Let's make some music make some [G]money find some models for [D]wives.
[D]I'll move to Paris, shoot some [G]heroin and fuck with the [D]stars.
[D]You man the island and the [G]cocaine and the elegant [D]cars.

[G]This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some [D]fun
[G]Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning [D]commute?

[A]Forget about our mothers and our [F#m]friends.
We were [G]fated [A]to pre[D]tend.
        [G]      to pre[D]tend.
We were [G]fated to pre[D]tend.
        [G]      to pre[D]tend.

[D]I'll miss the playgrounds and the [G]animals and digging up [D]worms.
[D]I'll miss the comfort of my [G]mother and the weight of the [D]world.
[D]I'll miss my sister, miss my [G]father, miss my dog and my [D]home.
[D]Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the [G]freedom and the time spent [D]alone.

[G]But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up [D]anew.
[G]The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
we'll find some more models, Everything must run its [D]course.

[A]We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the [F#m]end.
We were [G]fated [A]to pre[D]tend.
        [G]      to pre[D]tend.
We were [G]fated to pre[D]tend.
        [G]      to pre[D]tend.

2. Weekend Wars

[Dm]Evil S I yes to find a s[C]hore,    [G]
[C]A beach that doesn't q[G]uiver anymo[F]re,
[Dm]Where we can crush some p[C]lants to paint my w[F]alls,
And I won't [Am]try to fight in the weekend w[F]ars

[Dm]Was I? I was too lazy to b[C]athe     [G]
[C]Or paint or write or t[G]ry to make a[F] change.
[Dm]Now I can shoot a [C]gun to kill my l[F]unch
And I don't [Am]have to love or think too [F]much

[A]In[Dm]stant [C]battle [F]plans [A]written on the [Bb]sidewalk
[A]Me[Dm]ntal [C]mystics [F]in a [A]twisted metal [Bb]car
[A]Tr[Dm]ied to [C]ampli[F]fy the [Gm]sound of [Bb]light and [C]love

(Instead of just playing a C at the end here,
you can match the sound of MGMT a little better if
you play the riff below. When you finish it, go right
into the Dm of the next verse.)

[Dm]Christ is cursed of faders and mad[C]ers      [G]
Might [C]even take a [G]knife to split a [F]hair
[Dm]Or even scare the [C]children off my [F]lawn
Giving us [Am]time to make the makeshift [F]bombs

[Dm]Every mess invested was a [C]score    [G]
We [C]couldn't use [G]computers any[F]more
But it's [Dm]difficult to [C]win unless you're [F]bored,
And you might [Am]have to plan for the weekend [F]wars

[A]Tr[Dm]y to b[C]reak my [F]heart I'll [A]drive to Ari[Bb]zona.
[A]It [Dm]might [C]take [F]100 [A]years to grow an [Bb]arm
[A]I'll [Dm]sit and [C]listen [F]to the [Gm]sound of [Bb]sand and [A]cold
[Dm]Twisted [C]diamond [F]heart, [A]I'm the weekend [Bb]warrior
[A]My[Dm] pre[C]dictions [F]are the o[A]nly things I [Bb]have
[A]I [Dm]can [C]ampli[F]fy the [Gm]sound of [Bb]light and [C]love

(Here there is a similar riff as before. I strum or pick this
depending on how intense I want it to sound. Again, go right into
the next part after finishing this.)

[C]I'm a curse and I'm a [Bb]sound,

When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't [F]win,
I don't know how to [C]begin
I'm a curse and I'm a [Bb]sound,

When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't [F]win,
I don't know how to [C]begin

I'm a curse and I'm a [Bb]sound,

When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't [F]win,
I don't know how to [C]begin

3. The Youth!

[C]This is a call of arms to l[F]ive and love and sleep together  [Bb]      [A]
[C]We could flood the streets with [F]love or light or heat whatever [Bb]     [A]
[C]Lock the parents out, [F]cut a rug, twist and shout
[Bb]Wave your hands, Make it rain
[A]For stars will rise again.

[Bb]The youth is starting to [A]change
Are[Dm] you starting to[C] change?
Are y[F]ou together, together, together, together?

(Intro)
[F#m] [D] [A] [E]  x8

(Verse)
[F#m]You were a ch[D]ild
Crawling on your kn[A]ees toward him   [E]
[F#m]Making momma so pr[D]oud
[A]But your voice is too l[E]oud      [F#m]            [D]
We like to watch y[A]ou laughing [E]
[F#m]Picking insects off of p[D]lants
[A]No time to think of conseq[E]uences

(Chorus)
[F#m]Control yourself   [D]
Take only what you n[A]eed from it   [E]
[F#m]A family of t[D]rees wanting[A] to be h[E]aunted (?)

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse)
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

6. 4th Dimensional Transition

I could't find a tab of this anywhere so I decided to figure it out myself.  It's
pretty easy to make out just by listening to it, but I think I got it right for
the most part. Any comments or corrections are welcome.

All the verse parts are barre chords:

     [E]   [A]   [Am]   [B]   [Dm]   [D]   [G]   [F]   [F#]   [C]   [G2]

A|---7---7----7---9----5---5---5---3---4----3---10---------------------------|
E|---0---5----5---7------------3---1---2-------------------------------------|

[E]I feel your racing heart
[E]My liquid silver arms extended
[E]These waves aren't far apart
[E]Black gold in clawfoot tubs unchanging
[A]I am f[Am]ire, where's my f[E]orm?
[A]Whispe[Am]r crimson I int[B]rude
[Dm]There's light beneath your e[A]yes
[Dm]New overtones in vie[B]w
Endless f[A]orm, endless t[E]ime

A little different for the next verse:

[E]If what they say is true
[E]You are a shadow in the fourth dimension
[E]To float away with you
[E]We see the corners where nothing happens
[A]While we d[Am]rifted we were o[E]ne
[A]Ceilings l[Am]ifted walls were[E] gone

[E]You speak the l[D]anguage of the b[G]reeze
[G]All your leaves were meant for me
The l[F]ove that every p[F#]erson wants to [E]be

Here is the instrumental verse part:

G|--9-------7-----------------------9-9---6-8-11-----------------------------|
D|-------9-----7-9-----------------------------------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

[Dm]Stuck together, I don't l[C]ike revealing secrets
I'll [F]live inside your lips if you won't l[G]augh
My heaving hands on rotten fr[A]uit at last
[Dm]Fallow fingers, there's a s[C]urface I can count on
She'd f[F]it inside my heart and take it o[G]ver
Till her cape got blown int[A]o my red lungs
[Dm]Either there's a purpose
Or I'm h[C]eading out at breakfast
Take a d[F]rink, take a drag
One more c[G]offee, ugly hat
No more mi[G]rrors, woolen bag
And I am g[D]one

The song ends by strumming a standard D chord a bunch of times,
before ending on a final G chord.

[A]I just shook the ha[G]ndshake
[G]I just sealed the d[D]eal
[A]I'll try not to le[G]t them
[G]Take everything they can s[D]teal
[A]People always t[G]old me
[G]Don't forget your r[D]oots
[A]I know I can f[G]eel them underneath my leather b[D]oots

Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows
The h[G]andshake's stuck on the [A]tip of my tongue
It ta[Bm]stes like death but it looks like fun

Play this part with bar chords:

[B]I was a loner
I was just w[E]aiting b[Eb]y mys[Ab]elf    [B]
Wh[D]en you, warped temptress
Rose to bring me ha[A]ppiness and w[B]ealth
Black t[E]ears, black s[Eb]mile, black cr[D]edit cards and [C#]shoes
[A]You can call all the people you want
But it's y[E]ou who's being u[F#]sed
[B]Under your black eyes, honey
[E]Right ben[Eb]eath your n[Ab]ose    [B]
A[D] curse on all creation
Every s[A]ingle thing you k[B]new
White s[E]moke, white l[Eb]ight, white m[D]arble on the f[C#]loor
[A]It would only take a few seconds of darkness to [E]figure out what's in [F#]store

You keep on trying to wash the blood from your hands, but it won't go
[G]We're gonna keep you [A]on the run
[Bm]We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake under our tongue
We got the handshake x15

 [Bb]   [F]    [Bb]   [F]

1---------------

And there were [Bb]future reflections
On the f[F]ace and the hands
On a g[Bb]reen colored island
On a p[F]rimitive man
It was the [Bb]future reflecting
It felt fam[F]iliar but new
A street was m[Bb]issing a building
The kids had s[F]omething to do

1--------------

[Gm]   There was a feeling the spirit was l[Dm]eaving
Red like a m[A]arker        [Am]
[G]  So my tribe,[F] with my knife
[Cm]Cut the heart from a [Bb]lonely life    [F]

2---------------

[Bb]I saw patterns on floorboards
D[F]eep in the dust was a leader
S[Bb]omeone was walking on floorboards
T[F]urned them from oak to cedar
[Bb]He can assess the situation
[F]I wrapped a string around my finger
In[Bb]to the forest with the young ones
[F]I don't expect to be a winner

2--------------

[Gm]  But as long as you f[Em]eel it, I'm a bel[Dm]iever
My heart is ph[A]osphor    [Am]
[G]  Sea rolls[F] and death tolls
B[Cm]reak the surface don't b[Bb]reak my bones

[Gm]   Off of the t[Em]rail and off of your h[Dm]ands and
Onto a n[A]ew plan       [Am]
[G]  Is the cost[F] to stay lost
[Cm]Forever in an [Bb]empty skin
[Bdim]Pale and thin

-----------Bridge+Outro------------

[C5]  If it's good, or if it's f[B5]ortune, I can't tell
But p[Bb5]ieces come together for some re[F/A]ason just as well
[C5]  Their guns couldn't see us
There's a[B5] sea outside my door
[Bb5]  And one day I'll appreciate
The r[F/A]ush of blood and the [A/C#]washed out beat of the s[Dm]hore

[C]   And remember what it f[Bb]elt like    [F/A]
To be al[Dm]one,   [C]  sitting in the s[Bb]unlight   [F/A]
All al[Dm]one        [C]                 [Bb]                          [F/A]
