Kaiser Chiefs - Everything Is Average Nowadays

      
 
 The first chord played is D.
 
 Verse 1:
 D                       
 Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
                           Bm  
 Everything is average nowadays
                           D   
 Everything is average nowadays
                              Bm 
 Everyone would do it if they can
                                  G  
 And everything is going down the pan
                 G/F#          A    
 And everyone is following the craze
 
 And everything is average
 
 Note: On the G/F# chord, just slide your first finger down to the F# note while keeping
 else in position for the G.
 
 Halfway through the verse, there is a quiet little riff which goes like this:

 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B|-7---8-7-----7---8-7-------------------------------------------------------|
 G|---------7-----------7-----------------------------------------------------|
 D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 

 
 On the second verse, there is another guitar part which goes like this:

 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B|-7-----------------------7-------------------------------------------------|
 G|---9--7---7--9b11----------9-7---7-9---------------------------------------|
 D|--------9----------------------9-----9-------------------------------------|
 A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 

 
 Chorus:
 G                     G/F# 
 Not much to believe in
 A                 
 Left up on a shelf
    G                           G/F# 
 So get your coats we're leaving
       A                     
 We'll just do something else
 
 In the chorus, there is a synthesizer or something playing a riff which goes like this on guitar:

 e|-7-5-2-0-2---------7-5-2-0-2-5---------------------------------------------|
 B|-----------0---------------------------------------------------------------|
 G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 

 
 Verse 3:
 Ohhhh Everything is average nowadays
 Everything is average nowadays
 And everything is of no consequence
 Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
 And everything will always stay the same
 Cos everything is average
 
 Verse 4:
 Now you said you didn't mean it
 You threw away the book of rules
 You thought that we should read it
 I wouldn't even know how to
 
 Chorus:
 Not much to believe in
 Left up on the shelf
 So get your coats we're leaving
 We'll just do something else
 
 Middle 8:
 B               E              
 All I need is a ball and a wall
      A                    G     A         B 
 Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather x2
 
 At this point the chords go back to the verse, along with the first riff.
 
 Chorus:
 Not much to believe in
 Left up on the shelf
 So get your coats we're leaving
 We'll just do something else

                              C#m 
 Everyone would do it if they can
                                  A
