  key:   A major, B major
  time:  4/4, shuffled
  tempo: Q=130 bpm


-Josh tunes his acoustic guitar one full step down (D G C F A D),
 and starts out with capo on the 4th fret.
-You could also just remain in standard tuning and put capo on the 2nd fret.

-The guitar chord names are therefore just notated relative to the capo (in G major).
 The actual/absolute chord names are notated in the bottom.

 4/4
 G                Bm               E7(b9)/G#        C

 Em               C#m7(b5)         C                D9           



VERSE 1

||: G         | Bm        | E7(b9)/G# | C         |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | D9    :|[2x]

   Ancient holy wars
   Dead religions, holocausts
   New regimes, old ideals
   That's now myth, that's now real
   Original sin, genetic fate
   Revolutions, spinning plates
   It's important to stay informed
   The commentary to comment on




CHORUS 1

  | G         | Bm        | C         | Em        |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | G         |

   Oh, and no one ever really knows you, and life is brief
   So I've heard, but what's that gotta do with this black hole and me?

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | Em        |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | D9     | %         |

   Oh...




VERSE 2

||: G         | Bm        | E7(b9)/G# | C         |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | D9   :|[2x]

   Age-old gender roles
   Infotainment, capital
   Golden bowls and mercury
   Bohemian nightmares, dust bowl chic
   This documentary's lost on me
   Satirical news, free energy
   Mobile lifestyle, loveless sex
   Independence, happiness




CHORUS 2

  | G         | Bm        | C         | Em        |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | G         |

   Oh, and no one ever knows the real you, and life is brief
   So I've heard, but what's that gotta do with this atom bomb and me?

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | Em        |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | D9     | %         |

   Oh...




STRINGS INTERLUDE of 6 bars
-After this chaotically intensifying interlude, the song resumes 2 semi-tones higher,
 so utilize this interlude to raise the capo 2 fret.




VERSE 3

||: G         | Bm        | C         | Em        |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | D9    :|[2x]

   Coliseum families
   The golden era of TV
   Eunuch sluts, consumer slaves
   A rose by any other name
   Carbon footprint, incest streams
   Fuck the mother in the green
   Planet cancer, sweet revenge
   Isolation, online friends




CHORUS 3

||: G         | Bm        | C         | Em        |

  | Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | G         :|[2x]

   Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty
   What's your paradise gotta do with Adam and Eve?
   Maybe love is just an economy based on resource scarcity
   But what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me

||: Em        | C#m7(b5)  | C         | Em        :|[repeat fading out]

   Oh...
