NOTES: This song makes use of a particular riff, introduced at the beginning. This
pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So, when the
rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A, when
the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then played
over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab out the
pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the pattern
and is playing it over the transcribed chords :)

Nobody likes you...
Everyone left you...
They're all out without you...
Having fun...
E(har) Eb(har) E(har)
Verse 1:
Where have all the bastards gone?
F# A EThe underbelly's accidental high
G# C#The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
A F# B E BYou're fucking only along for the ride
E AWhere have all the riots gone?
As your city's model gets pulverized
G# C#What's in love is now in debt
G# C#On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
B E B (repeat 3x)
Pre-Chorus:
The television's an obstructionist
A EAnd you don't even know that you exist
B A BStand still wish to die
You better run for your fucking life
It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not hope before it's too late
E(2) BIt's cities burnin'
A CIt's not my burden
It's not hope before it's too late
F# A (no chords)
There's nothing left to analyze
