Life During Wartime

by: green day

Intro: G#5 C5 E#5 C#5 D#5 X2

   G#5                 C#5
Yeah, we say making changes
               D#5
starts in the little things you do
 G#5      C#5
Revolution begins at home
D#5
but for most of us it ends at two

F5
We're doing something
C#5
we're making changes
F5
Like changing the brand
C#5
of crap we buy
F5                C#5
We say it makes a difference
      D#5
but that's just another lie.

       G#5          C#5
It used to be us and them
   D#5
and you and me
          G#5             C#5
And now we can't reach our potential
D#5
without a common enemy

F5
A real war
C#5
to fight against
F5
instead of our petty
C#5
disagreements
F5        C#5            D#5
How can I rationalize my life
during wartime lie?


Bridge: C#5 C#? C#5 G#5 F#5 G#5 X3

Then: C#5 D#5


 C#5                G#5 F#5 G#5
A call to action and no reaction
C#5              G#5 F#5   G#5
Taking our lives in our own hands
C#5         G#5    F#5    G#5
Instead of sitting around and talking
C#5                       D#5
about the same old shitty bands

   F5        
The war's going
C#5
on right now and
F5             
I'm not doing
C#5
anything about it
F5                
Without a crowd I'm
C#5
not so loud
 F5          C#5      D#5
I can't do anything by myself


But that's just another lie
