Capo isn't neccessary but I play it on 3rd fret. A lot of the vocals land inbetween beats. If there's a small
space before the chord above a lyric, that means the chord is meant to be played AFTER the lyric has started.
As for Bridge 2, the first half should be strummed softly, second half should be louder. The N.C. can also be
a soft F.
[VERSE 1]
AmBack in the cuts break-bEmack cement 40 oz
so Cminimal in Four heads
AmDrown drone beggars where aEmre you glory
under the Cbitten sky we pFlay
AmBack in the past we were bEmorn
to suck so dCiligentlyF  
Be the Amconcrete floor or this Emcougar-whore
You can’t Ctrust the dust that’s been gFiven
[BRIDGE 1]
CBring me cAmlose to love
Would you Emgive me a reason tDo believe
 CTrapped by the wAmorld
Would you Emgive me a reason tDo believe
[CHORUS]

You can Amfind me on broadway
EmFind me on broadway
 FFather told Gme
You can Amfind me on broadway
EmFind me on broadway
[VERSE 2]
AmSo many ways to fEmlip our heads up-sCide-downF  
It’s a Amfellow eclipse of a bEmit fist
We cry wColf under the hemorrhaging cFrown
AmBack in the past
We were bEmorn to suck so dCiligentlyF  
Our Amlips are not to be closed
under the Emshade of all your sniveling
Taking Cin all the wind of your jump-cliff
and Fwhisper ever so
[BRIDGE 1]
CBring me cAmlose to love
Would you Emgive me a reason tDo believe
 CTrapped by the wAmorld
Would you Emgive me a reason tDo believe
