Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Probably not 100% correct but I feel this is basically it. Please feel free to correct
me as this is my first tab (:
Wil also hammers on the 3rd fret of the low e string while playing the chords C, Em and
Am in the verse.
He adds this note to the chord about halfway through the chords transition.
Listen to the song and you'll pick up on the strumming and this hammer on, easy (:
Also I think the Em sounds better when played like this but try for yourself and see
which you prefer.

C Em
Before if I fucked up anything I only hurt me,
Am G C Em Am
I never hurt anyone but now there are real people my actions affect and I cannot stand it,
G
I cannot handle it.
C Em Am
I smoke too much weed and watch too much TV, I always run out of cigarettes,

I lie about everything.
C Em Am G
This used to be me but now it's feeling stale and friendly.
F C G F C G
And I hate what I've become but I've never been so proud of what I've achieved.
C Em
And I steal from my friends, this is how I will tell them,
Am G
But sometimes I'm broke and when I am I I'll do anything.
C Em
But it's no excuse cause none of us have a thing,
Am G
But you are all honest I self-aggrandise my own bullshit.
C Em
Borrow money for food and I spend it on booze,
Am G
Eat bread from the dumpster and use anything I can use,
C Em
To block out my thoughts, quiet my brain,
Am G
I still jump when the pain comes.
F C G F C G
And I hate what I've become but I've never been so proud of what I've achieved.
C Em
And I just want my parents to think that I'm clever,
Am G C Em
And excuse my lifestyle but my lifestyle has become an excuse.
Am
Formed out of habit.
C Em Am
And I just want my friends to know that I'll never fuck them around again,
