Hi folks,
these chords are based on the “Nervous Energies” session.
Check this version out on youtube!
Some chords are a bit tricky, I don’t know if they’re 100% right or how
they’re named correctly but here’s my suggestion. Sounds good to me. ?

1st verse
Bm Dsus2
The first sin that I once told
A7sus4 B6
Was to my parents at ten years old
G Asus4
I stole somethin’ I’ll admit it
E7sus4 G
But not to priests or crucifixes
Bm Dsus2
Me and my best friend Chris
A7sus4 B6
We built our alibis from bricks
G Asus4 E7sus4
And when we were questioned we just read our scripts
Asus4
“I didn’t do it”
D Asus4/G Asus4 E7sus4 Dsus2* Asus4/G Asus4
2nd verse
Bm Dsus2
The first crime I did commit
A7sus4 B6
Was mischief night with my friend Chris
G Asus4
We packed our bags with toilet paper,
E7sus4 G
Bars of soap, and egg containers
Bm Dsus2 A7sus4 B6
And we targeted everyone who ever seemed to do us wrong
G Asus4 E7sus4 Asus4
Oh how the time turns on
1st Chorus
D Asus4/G
And maybe Einstein can express
Asus4 E7sus4 Asus4/G
The formulaic mysteries of time
Asus4
But I’ve lost the time
Dsus2* Asus4/G
And maybe Kafka was a writer
Asus4 E7sus4 Asus4/G Asus4
But I’ve been living like my name is Samsa
3rd verse
Bm Dsus2
The first night I got my fix
A7sus4 B6
Was with my brother and my friend Chris
G Asus4
We stole my mothers Smirnoff vodka
E7sus4 G
Mixed it with some cans of Fresca
Bm Dsus2
We learned how our parents lived
A7sus4 B6
And found that we were good at it
G Asus4 E7sus4 Asus4
Meet me at the bottom or in between
2nd chorus
D Asus4/G
And maybe Einstein can express
Asus4 E7sus4 Asus4/G
The formulaic mysteries of time
Asus4
But I’ve lost the time
Dsus2* Asus4/G
And maybe Kafka was a writer
Asus4 E7sus4 Asus4/G Asus4
But I’ve been living like my name is Samsa
Outro [2x]
Dsus2*
See you in hell
Asus4/G
I’ll see ya when I see ya
E7sus4
See you in hell
G
I’ll see ya when I see ya
//let Dsus2* ring at the end
have fun! ?
