      hi this is my first tab here so be gentle with me :P
(@voodxxmuke on twitter)

I did this by ear & it's from a video of them playing it live
for the first time in lisbon so i'm not 100% sure it's
the right chords, but it fits :)

No Capo
(the tuning is half step down but I used a capo
on the 1.fr because it fits my voice better)

Luke(intro):

[verse]
E            D         A
 You say I'm too complicated
E            D     A
 hung up and miseducated
E           D        A
 I say 9 to 5 is overrated
       E        D   A
and we all fall down

E                       D          A
 I can't sleep cause my mind keeps racing
E                        D           A
 my chest hurts cause my heart keeps breaking
E                  D          A
 I'm so numb and I can't stop shaking
       E        D   A
and we all fall down


[pre-chorus]
E            E
 frustration, desperation,
D
 you say you need some
C#
kind of medication
E           E
 situation: no motivation
D             A
 destination: permanent vacation

[chorus]
E
hey, I'm doing fine
        D
and I know I'm out of line
         A
so let's sing this one more time
        E            D           A      E
it goes destination: permanent vacation


na na na nanana na


[verse]
E       D                  A
 voices coming through the speaker
E              D           A
And they can't make me a believer
E             D       A
I know I'm an under-achiever
           E      D    A
And we're all so proud
E              D                A
Watch out, I think we're going under
E                      D            A
'Cause right now, I'm just another number
E             D            A
Get out, the system's overcrowded
           E      D    A
And we're all so proud

[pre-chorus]
E           E
 frustration, desperation,
D
 you say you need some
C#
kind of medication
E
 situation: no motivation
D             A
 destination: permanent vacation

[chorus]
E
hey, I'm doing fine
        D
and I know I'm out of line
         A
