Here's intro riff/bass line with chords over them:
[B] [C#m] [E] [/C#m] [G#m]
[F#] [B] [C#m] [E]
I play these chords something like this during the intro but you can play around
with different positions:
[B] [C#m] [E] [C#mG#m]
[F#] [B] [C#m] [B] [E]
During the verses, the guitarist kind of improvises around this chords:
The music s[B]tarted[C#m]
I rea[E]lized it was[(C#m)] all a[G#m] lie
[(F#)]The gui[B]tars were ringing [C#m]out la[B]st year's[E] punk
No I couldn[B]'t bear the [C#m]burden
So I [E]threw it[(C#m)] all a[G#m]way
[(F#)]I lef[B]t my home and a[C#m]ll my friends b[E]ehind, yeah
Oh [G#m]make me [F#]young[E] again
I [B]found some way to mend this broken h[F#]eart
But it don't [G#m]want me sin[F#]ging about lo[E]ve anymore
It just [B]wants to sleep out in the [F#]park
But it don't really [E]matter what [F#]I say
You're just going to[E] twist it an[F#]yway
Do you even listen t[E]o my words?[F#]
You just want to mem[E]orize the ch[F#]ords[B]
(solo over the intro chords)
I'm alone a[B]gain b[C#m]ecause
All I[E] really want[(C#m)]'s the[G#m] truth
[F#]It's s[B]o rare to find that an[C#m]ywher[B]e th[E]ese days
[F#]An hon[B]est arrow caught my sh[C#m]oulde[(B)]r[E]
in a [E]sea of New Y[(C#m)]ork cu[G#m]rves
[(F#)]I'll try[B] to play the [C#m]part [(B)]of cel[E]ebrity
And it's[G#m] a hea[F#]dach[E]e to walk that way
I was [B]dressed up in all the wrong [F#]clothes
Oh do you reme[G#m]mber[F#], wh[E]at you were last year?
Do you rem[B]ember your former r[F#]oles?
But it don't seem to m[E]atter who[F#] I am
No one seems to want t[E]o underst[F#]and that
I'm my mother's so[E]n, I'm a [F#]rolling stone
E F# (slow down)
I don't want anything I have to own
F# E F# (repeat forever)
Help me run and hide baby
Help me run and hide
From the rest of the world
Help me run and hide baby
Help me run and hide
I'm terrified baby yeah
