So some general notes for this song. First, this is a pretty bare bones version but it should give you a good
start. Second, the Tuning is D A D F# A D, With this tuning except for a few
exceptions all the chords simply require a full bar for example:
D G A
d|-0---5---7-|
A|-0---5---7-| Ect
F#|-0---5---7-|
D|-0---5---7-|
A|-0---5---7-|
D|-0---5---7-|
Third, You can also play this in E standard as im pretty sure for live versions only Patrick uses this tuning
and the other guitarists use E standard.
Fourth, I know this isn't 100% correct, especially the verses and outro, so if you have anything to add to
this tab post it in the comments.

[Verse]
D
Running around
This run-down, one-horse town
G
One of these days
D
They're gonna crucify me
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable
G D
It is to be young, dumb, and have lots of money
[Pre-Chorus 1]

D
We will sit upon this grassy knoll
D
Holding hands and stroking handguns
G D
With pristine souls
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
And even my own mother will tell you
D G
I am an asshole, but underneath it all
A D
There is an apathetic heart of gold
[Chorus]
G A B
So who will be saved,
G A B
From the least to the greatest men?
G A B
Because even Honest Abe
G A
Sold poison milk to schoolchildren

[Verse]
D
The blood drive came to Glen Rock High
G D
In a white bus with red letters on the side
D
And a long shiny needle
They brought to suck me dry
G D
Like missionary mosquitoes in the sky
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
Now you're doing time for stealing candy
From a babe
D G D
Because all the kids in Ridgewood have got cell phones these days
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
And if you wear a mask
D
They can still read your license plate
G
And a wireless line
A D
Is a terrible thing to waste
[Chorus]
G A B
Because the more we think
G A B
The less it all makes sense
G A B
Tonight we will drink
G A D
To our general indifference
[Outro]
B D
Lamb of God
G D
We think nothing of ourselves at all
B D
So, Death, be not proud
G A
Because we don't give a fuck about nothing
D
And we only want what we are not allowed
