Jeff Rosenstock's song "Amen" from his album "I Look Like Shit" E Waiting to go to school on some suburban road A F# They took my backpack and emptied it in the snow E E Dbm A The kids at the bus stop screamed nothing. E I saw an old lady one time on Astor Place A F# steal an old man's glasses and punch him in the face E E Dbm A Me and the others screamed nothing. A And what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky E Abm Dbm Abm And what's the difference if you like being alive A B E Yeah what's the difference, 'cause we're all just gonna die. E A crucifix and two framed pictures of the pope A F# I passed them all as I got evicted from my home. A B(once) E Dbm A My Catholic landlord screamed "Amen." A We don't believe in God or spirits in the sky. E Abm F#m B Unless we're desperate and need to justify A B the shitty things we do so we apologize Dbm E "Ya gotta get rid of my guilt, God." A Before I fled the scene I smeared my shit along the baseboards E Abm Took the moldy foodstuffs, lined them up along the tile floor A Jerked off on the window screen, fridge open and toilet running E Abm F#m D Barely felt reprieve before the deluge of regret came flooding A Now I can't get to sleep because I have this useless conscience. E Abm And I can't get revenge due to this stupid moral compass. A B E And honestly I feel that all these feelings aren't worth it in the end. (interlude; listen for chord changes, I tried to make it make sense): E F# B A F#m E B E E F# B A F# A B E A We don't believe in God or spirits in the sky E Ab F# F#m Unless we're desperate or know someone who died. A B We gain perspective and we start to change our lives Dbm A Then still do shitty things when the moment arrives. A So what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky E Abm F# B So what's the difference if you like being alive A B Yeah what's the fucking point of thinking as you die Dbm "Ya gotta forgive all my sins, God." (end; listen for changes and shit): E Dbm A E Abm A B Ab E Dbm A E Ab A I used 'b' for flat because that's what I typed, and 'm' is minor it's probably not perfect by any means but this is what was on "chordify." I kind of like playing an F#7 instead of the F# just because I like the chord but what do I know.
