None of them
Rough and simple tab. Comment if you have a slicker way to play it.
Notes on the verse chords:
You can just play A, Dmaj7, F#m7, and Bm.
To get the slide (this isn't right, but it sort of works) sound, play:
e|--0---0--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--2---2s7--0---7-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|--2---1s6--6---6----2---2s7---7--------------------------------------------|
D|--2---2s7--7---7----4---2s7---7--------------------------------------------|
A|--0---0-------------4---4s9---9--------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This is the chorus riff:
e|-----------------------0---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------2----0-2----------------------------------------------|
G|--2-2--2-2--4-2-4------------2---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|---------------------------------------------------------------0-----------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------0-2----0-2-------|
G|--2-2-2-2s4-4--2-2------------------2--------2----2-2-------------2--------|

A Amaj7
Your skin's in my mouth
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
But I'm thinking about
F#m F#m7
thousands of things
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
That don't got your name
A Amaj7
So I'm distant and weird
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
We stop and you're all ears
F#m F#m7
But how can I say
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7 D
I've just been thinking that it's harder every year
A
To find excuses that'll keep me in the clear
D
The arbitrary lines I impress in the sand
A
The proof that piles in my trashcan
D
While the skin on my hands is looking older every day
A
The lies I've told have turned to leather on my face
D
The love I've lost has turned to needles in my heart
A
But I'm to blame for all the bad parts
They're the choices I've made (hey hey)
A Amaj7
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
F#m F#m7
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
That's why I turn my face away
A Amaj7
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
F#m F#m7
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
A Amaj7
I watch the debates
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
Till I can't see straight
F#m F#m7
Take abortion away
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
And both sides seem just the same
A Amaj7
So I'm not sure why I vote
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
'Cause I just don't know
F#m F#m7
What difference it makes
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7 D
It seems to me we get the same shit from them both
A
Reforms don't work I think it's time we tried revolt
D
But I don't got the guts to jump up and go first
A
So I'll just shout until my throat hurts
D
And I curse and I curse at what we fucked up in Iraq
A
You say "Support the troops!" I do, I want them all brought back
D
And every building you bombed raised from the ground
A
And blow your contractors the fuck out
D
And if you really go and reinstate the draft
A
Just straight away just split the country straight in half
D
Try arresting everyone who sends their draft cards back
A
I'll be returning mine in no time flat
D
No time flat
F#m
No time flat
Bm
No time flat
C#m D E
(yeah yeah yeah)
(ba da ba)
A Amaj7
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
F#m F#m7
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
x2
A Amaj7
In a sense we're the same
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
Struggling to save face
F#m F#m7
A question of scope
Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
How far you're willing to go
A Amaj7
To make rights of your wrongs
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D6
Despite the risk involved
F#m F#m7
A question of faith...
Bm9 once, then no chords until D
D
'Cause if we wait until we've all been burned to ash
A
To tell the truth about the shit buried in our past
D
We'll split a taxi to that fire pit way down south
A
So let's rise up and open our mouths
D
'Cause you remind me that it's harder every year
A
To find excuses that'll keep me in the clear
D
The arbitrary lines I impress in the sand
A
The proof that piles in my trashcan
D
And if you really go and reinstate the draft
A
You'll straight away just split the country straight in half
D
So try arresting everyone who sends their draft cards back
A A A
I'll be returning mine in no time flat
