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.

-This intro indicates both the strumming pattern and all the chord shapes used.

[VERSE 1]
||: G| Bm| E7(b9)/G#| C|
| Em| C#m7b5| C| D9/F#:| (x2)
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#m7b5| 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?

Oh...
[VERSE 2]
||: G| Bm| E7(b9)/G#| C|
| Em| C#m7b5| C| D9/F#:| (x2)
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#m7b5| 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#m7b5| C| D9/F#| % |
Oh...
[STRINGS INTERLUDE]
-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#m7b5| C| D9/F#:| (x2)
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#m7b5| C| D9/F#|
Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty
What's your paradise gotta do with Adam and Eve?
| G| Bm| C| Em|
| Em| C#m7b5| C| G|
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#m7b5| C| Em:| (repeat fading out)
Oh...
