[-----]So, this is my first submission here. I LOVE this band. I'm fairly confident about
these chords, based on seeing it played live (online) and in the music video. I got the
lyrics from a website, but they seem accurate enough to me. I hope you enjoy it (and
please correct what you think is wrong!)
[-----]
The basic chord progression is G, Fmaj7, C. Later I believe it changes for one little
bit to to Dm, Am, C, G.
You can play around with the strumming of the G chord to occasionally lift off the 5th
string, playing a Gadd9 sort of chord.

[Fmaj7]"We're no longer young[C], we're lazy and lithe,[G]
[Fmaj7]and our age makes us du[C]mb.
[G]Don't call on me, p[Fmaj7]altering and [C]pale,
[G]With sin on your mind, and[Fmaj7] dirt under your nai[C]ls."
[Dm]Well, he holds to[Am] a vow just be[C]cause.[G]
