Optional: You can also try to pick the verse to change up the sound of the song.
Example: Instead of just strumming the F chord during verse, try this:

 F Chord:   and       Bb Chord:
A----0---           A----1----
E--1--1--           E--1--1---  X aprox.8/ play semi fast
C-0-0----           C-2-2-----

You never know the weight of your crimes
         G                                       C
But when all the gates have closed and you're tired
              G                         C
You stand a while by the fire And it burns bright
    G                         C
A while, a while, you sit quiet

G                C
Inside you're so warm
G              C
Your eyes open up
        G              C
To the sunrise To the sunrise
          G      C
Far from here

   G                                 C
I never know the state that you're in
     G                           C
It's obvious to climb in your skin
       G             C
But I know how to walk across
          G                          C
When it's silent inside, it feels right
   G              C
Inside you're so warm
     G          C
Your eyes open up

To the sunrise, to the sunrise
                      G           C
Cause I want you to know That I know
                      G           C
Cause I want you to know That I know

There's strange force in your kiss oh.

All's divine in desire.

With an isle of philosophy,

Burning scrolls in the naked heat,

Oh how coy is your little boy. No!

Your children sway they fuel the kitch.

Raise their glass to soviet cries in the ward,

And in shadows.

G
Outright, in times of old,
C
Fumes are falling, smell them burn,
G                      C
Like always, yes always. 

Now here!

I got buried; no it won't be long before I rise in.

                  G           Em
I'm in tatters thinkin' about her
C
Taste my disaster
       G             Em
It's heavy on my tongue
Am
All the lights aglow
   C        G
Tokyo   snows
Am       
Go to watch the show
    C           
Curtain's closed!
               G
I'm watching you this time

CHORUS 
Am
And if the world don't break
C            G
I'll be shakin' it
Am                                                        G  Em
'Cause I'm a young man after all 
Am      
And when the seasons change
C         G
Will you stand by me?
Am                                                            G  Em

I missed that train, New York city - it rains!
Am                                                G
Fly to east L.A. in big jet planes
                Em
You know you're on my mind
Am
All the lights aglow
   C        G
Tokyo   snows
Am       
Go to watch the show

D          Em 
Jack, from school
               Bm 
He listened to Bowie
                      Em 
People thought he was cool
           D            Em 
He used to live for the thrill
        Bm                         Em 
Skating around up in the Hollywood Hills


[Pre-Chorus]

           Bm 
But no one knows
                G 
He's talking it up
                  Bm 
That it's all for show
               G 
He's boring as f**k


[Chorus]

                   D 
You're Mr. Know-It-All
                     Em 
She's staring at her phone
                    Bm 
And even though you sit together
F#m         G 
You feel so alone
            D 
It's such a tragedy
                   Em 
When people hardly speak
               Bm            F#m            G 
Try to live up to the person you pretend to be
                   D   Em  Bm G 
You're Mr. Know-It-All
You're Mr. Know-It


[Verse 2]

D           Em 
Jill, liked art
                Bm 
She listened to Mozart
                       G 
People thought she was smart
            D           Em 
She used to quote Hemingway
            Bm               G 
Trippin' on acid in the Palisade


[Pre-Chorus]

           D   
But no one knows
                  G 
That it's all for show


[Chorus]

                   D 
You're Ms. Know-It-All
                      Em 
You're staring at his phone
                    Bm 
And even though you sit together
F#m         G 
You feel so alone
            D 
It's such a tragedy
                   Em 
When people hardly speak
               Bm            F#m            G 
Try to live up to the person you pretend to be


[Bridge]

                      D        Bm          F#m     Em  Bm 
You must have known I tried to change with love to say hello
A 
 Please, don't hang up
D         Bm       F#m   
Afraid of what I'd say
Bm            A 
Hello, hello, hello
                D   Em Bm F#m G 
I'm Mr. Know-It-All


[Chorus]

                D 
I'm Mr. Know-It-All
              Em 
Staring at my phone
                   Bm 
And even though we sit together
F#m       G 
I feel so alone
            D 
It's such a tragedy
                  Em 
We always used to speak
               Bm            F#m          G 
Try to live up to the person I pretend to be
                D

The time don't show when the sun gets carried

But I don't know when the fire gets hazy

The flames roll down and off her body

The Cough Syrup Songfacts  reports that the song was composed when the band was unsigned and originally appeared on their 2008 Shake My Hand EP.The song was written as a cry for help when the band was broke and didn't know what to do with themselves.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

repeats.
