Just some notes (and you should read this before criticizing):
- This tab is rated intermediate due to the difficulty of the chords & switching
- I tried to make this as simple as possible while incorporating the proper elements;
but don't take it note for note, as the saying goes. Listen to the song and play what
you feel is right; play your interpretation of the song. This is a base for you to be
creative with; I just wanted to provide correct chords & positions.
- play the Dsus2 in open position for the last chord
- the Esus2 & Bsus4 are played on the last beat of the bar before going to the next
chord; they are just hit once in transition. If you can't hear them, or don't think
full chord should be played, simply hit the bass note for those chords in transition
- it's not necessary to fret the 'e' string on the B or A chords
- A can be played higher up, like the B, or as an Asus
- A in the pre-chorus can be played as Asus
- in the last verses/choruses, I didn't mark every transition chord. It's up to you
whether or not to play them, sounds good either way, depends on style you're playing
the song
- when the distorted guitar comes in (first chorus), it's just playing the open
positions of the chords in an 3-note arpeggio-style (you'll know what I mean if you
listen to the song...)
- when the heavier guitar comes in (second verse), it's simply playing the power
chords for the notes; nothing fancy going on except sliding back and forth (same as
the bass pretty much)
- I have no clue what's going on in the funky interlude with the lead, but it's based
on the same chord progression so yeah...
- if you have any questions/concerns, feel free to email me at the address given above
- if you notice anything that doesn't belong or isn't right, please say so in the
comments below so I can try to fix it, as well as letting others know the correction
(eg: if I named a chord wrongly - after the time I put into this, the name of the
chord is irrelevant so long as the fingerings are correct)

Distorted Arpgeggio Riff:
(again, just an outline, it's played differently each chorus, play it your own way,
but note how it always returns to the 3rd on B and open on 'e', those notes matter)

CHORDS & LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
[Dsus2] Oh, Johnny wishes he [Esus2]was fa[Asus4]mous
Spends his time alone in [Bsus4]the ba[G]sement
With Lennon and Cob[B]ain and
A guitar [A]and a ster[Dsus2]eo
And while he wishes he c[Esus2]ould e[Asus4]scape this
But it all seems s[Bsus4]o cont[G]agious
Not to be yourself and [B]faceless
In a song[A] that has no s[G]oul
[PreChorus]
I remember feeling lo[A]w, and
I remember losing hop[G]e, and
I remember all the [B]feelings
And the d[A]ay they stopped
[Chorus]
[Dsus2] We are, w[Esus2]e are [Asus4]all innocent,
W[Bsus4]e are a[G]ll innocent
We are[B], we are[A]...
[Dsus2] We are, w[Esus2]e are [Asus4]all innocent,
W[Bsus4]e are a[G]ll innocent
We are[B], we are[A]...
[Verse 2]
[Dsus2] Oh, and Tina's losing faith in [Esus2]what s[Asus4]he knows
Hates her music, hates [Bsus4]all of[G] her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a [B]new nose
Ev[A]ery calorie is a w[Dsus2]ar
And while she wishes she [Esus2]was a [Asus4]dancer
And that she'd never hear[Bsus4]d of c[G]ancer
She wishes God would give her some [B]answers
And make [A]her feel beauti[Dsus2]ful
[PreChorus]
[Chorus]

You'll stand up on your [B]own
