2.What are you gonna do now Now that it's spoken These words have a habit of not fading away Our memory's clear Conscience gets opened like a wound If you can't concieve of better lines and better times Then let silence bury you In the end You will be condemned
Rant: You see the Boston strangler on the freedom road you think the suffragettes got sunk a long long time ago you spewed it out your spite was insecure it was like bile from the height on the toilet floor you were a nazi drunk you had the rednecks roaring for blood and then they wanted more your life was so small you couldn't get enough you made a start
Most chords are actually played as power chords (ie no 3rd played), but I've put them as major and minor chords as best I can.
