Chord/Tab song: The Kids Aren't Alright

The Kids Aren't Alright - Offspring


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: You can play the intro through the entire song if you want to.
Strum the intro with a lot of mutes, almost like your playing a ukulele.

Chord Diagrams are at the bottom!!

Also: If played in Half Step Down, all the annoying sharps are gone.

Verse:
[A#m]When we were young the future was so bright

[F#]The old neighborhood was so alive

[C#]And every kid on the whole damn street

[G#]Was gonna make it big in every beat

[A#m]Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn

[F#]The kids are grown up but their lives are worn

[C#]How can one little street

[G#]Swallow so many lives

Chorus:

[A#m]Chances thrown

[F#]Nothing's free

[C#]Longing for

[A#m]Still it's hard

[F#]Hard to see

[C#]Fragile lives

[G#]Shattered dreams

[A#m]Jay committed suicide

[F#]Brandon OD'd and died

[C#]What the hell is going on?

[G#]The cruelest dream: reality


-------------------------------------

Chorus:

[A#m]Chances thrown

[F#]Nothing's free
