entire song. I have, however, provided the chords along with the lyrics for reference,
you want to play it acoustic by yourself.

Verse riff B - Distorted (Promise that forever...)
Verse riff C - Distorted, 2nd verse only (Growing up and learning...)
Chorus - Distorted (Good lives are gold...)

Bridge - Distorted (I never wanted to be...)
There's a [C#m]plastic toy four door in the [E]cereal box and
He's [A]licking off the sugar of the [B]breakfast of chumps
[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at
[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie
There is no [C#m]floor thirteen, there's not [E]even a second story
You got [A]one to tell and it's [B]sad as hell
[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at
[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie
[C#m]Grad school kid with [E]wall street glib
Got a [A]suit and a tie and a [B]record with winners
[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at
[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie
[A]I'm on my way back home now
[E] Good [B]lives are [A]gold, like the oldest story
[E] Will [B]mine be [A]told, while I'm still young and horny?
[E] I [B]know my [A]role is to be a confusion
[E] Set the clock back [B]when I'm growing [A]old
(Repeat intro x1)
This [C#m]kid came over and I [E]let him crash
But he [A]went into my wallet and he [B]grabbed my cash
[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at
[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie
And the [C#m]good girlfriend, she [E]turned me in
I was [A]lying with my eyes about a[B]dulterous sin
[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at
[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie
[A]I'm on my way back home now
(repeat chorus)
[C#m] I never [E]wanted to be [B]like you or all the rest[A]
[C#m] I've always [E]been the first one to [B]settle for second best[A]
[C#m] I never [E]wanted to be
[B] I never [A]wanted to be
[C#m] I never [B]wanted to be [A]like you
(repeat chorus)
[E]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at
[C#m]Growing up and learning to [B]lie
(repeat this last part 3 times)
Promise it[E]
(Also, if you want the bassline, it's entirely root notes of the chords.
C#m 4th fret A-string (actually 2nd fret low B-string; it's recorded on a 5-string,
most people don't have one.)
E open E-string
A open A-string
