Jeff Rosenstock's song "Amen" from his album "I Look Like Shit"
E
Waiting to go to school on some suburban road
A F#
They took my backpack and emptied it in the snow
E E Dbm A
The kids at the bus stop screamed nothing.
E
I saw an old lady one time on Astor Place
A F#
steal an old man's glasses and punch him in the face
E E Dbm A
Me and the others screamed nothing.
A
And what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
E Abm Dbm Abm
And what's the difference if you like being alive
A B E
Yeah what's the difference, 'cause we're all just gonna die.
E
A crucifix and two framed pictures of the pope
A F#
I passed them all as I got evicted from my home.
A B(once) E Dbm A
My Catholic landlord screamed "Amen."
A
We don't believe in God or spirits in the sky.
E Abm F#m B
Unless we're desperate and need to justify
A B
the shitty things we do so we apologize
Dbm E
"Ya gotta get rid of my guilt, God."
A
Before I fled the scene I smeared my shit along the baseboards
E Abm
Took the moldy foodstuffs, lined them up along the tile floor
A
Jerked off on the window screen, fridge open and toilet running
E Abm F#m D
Barely felt reprieve before the deluge of regret came flooding
A
Now I can't get to sleep because I have this useless conscience.
E Abm
And I can't get revenge due to this stupid moral compass.
A B E
And honestly I feel that all these feelings aren't worth it in the end.
(interlude; listen for chord changes, I tried to make it make sense):
E F# B A
F#m E
B E
E F# B A
F# A
B E
A
We don't believe in God or spirits in the sky
E Ab F# F#m
Unless we're desperate or know someone who died.
A B
We gain perspective and we start to change our lives
Dbm A
Then still do shitty things when the moment arrives.
A
So what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
E Abm F# B
So what's the difference if you like being alive
A B
Yeah what's the fucking point of thinking as you die
Dbm
"Ya gotta forgive all my sins, God."
(end; listen for changes and shit):
E Dbm A E Abm A B Ab E Dbm A E Ab A
I used 'b' for flat because that's what I typed, and 'm' is minor
it's probably not perfect by any means but this is what was on "chordify." I kind of like playing an F#7
instead of the F# just because I like the chord but what do I know.
