Verse: I don’t know the strum pattern. It’s too syncopated for me.
So I’m just giving you the power chords.
C#5 G#5
It’s a new day, but it all feels old
C#5 G#5
It’s a good life, that’s what I’m told
C#5 G#5 F#5
But everything it all just feels the same
C#5 G#5
And my high school, it felt more to me
C#5 F#5
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
C#5 G#5 F#5
My time spent there it only made me see
Pre-Chorus 1: palm-mute here to here

PLAY INTRO PART 2
Verse 2: Same chords as Verse 1
Go to college, a university. Get a real job, that’s what they say
to me. But I could never live the way they want. I’m gonna get by,
and just do my time. Out of step while they all get in line. I’m
just a minor threat so pay no mind...
Pre-Chorus 2: Same chords as Pre-Chorus 1
Do you really wanna be like them? Do you really wanna be another
trend? Do you wanna be part of their crowd? Cuz I don’t ever wanna,
I don’t ever wanna be
stop here
Bridge: Palm-mute until indicated to stop V

You shake it once, that's fine. You shake it twice that's ok. You
shake it three times, you're playing with yourself...again.
Guitar solo: sorry I had to run it into a 2nd line.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GOOD CHARLOTTE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
