Verse: (On each cord you have to strum three really fast time's and then let the fourth ring
until the next chord. Listen to the song, and you'll know what i mean.)

After that you play the same chords, only faster. 8 strums per chord.

Its the same chords all the way through the song, except at the "Ahh aah aah aaah aaah
aaah aaah.." part. At that point you can hear two guitars. One is playing the chords, and
other one is playing the intro along with the vocals. You just pick whatever you want

Note: On the G/F# chord, just slide your first finger down to the F# note while keeping
else in position for the G.

And everything is of no consequence
Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
Cos everything is average
Verse 4:
Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to
Chorus:

Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else
Middle 8:
B E
All I need is a ball and a wall
A G A B
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather x2
At this point the chords go back to the verse, along with the first riff.
Chorus:

So get your coats we're leaving

Feels like a week
What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Your life could be worse
You could be a nurse
Verse 3:
It seems so sensible
For us to keep the purse strings tight
And move the decimals
A couple of places to the right
Verse 4:
And its not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
It seems most sensible
But not exactly what we'd like
Chorus:
What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
Its just seven days
Feels like a week
What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Our life could be worse
You know, we all could be cursed

So don't rearrange it

D A
I just don't like the changes

You know wouldn't to strangers

Cos it puts me in danger

But I'm still waiting for
The man to come with all my things

you could also play the D string in the chorus with these chords to be a bit more interesting
