This song can be played with open chords, but I think that it sounds much better played with barre
chords.
Also, if you watch a live performance, The band members play it with barre chords.
[C]Wo[C]ul[C]dn't ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love
[C]Ne[C]ve[C]r really heard you speak that way, it's unworthy of?
[C]Fu[C]nn[C]y how that little college girl called language corrupt
[C]Fu[C]nn[C]y how the other private schools had no Hapa Club
[C]So[C]me[C]one took a trip before you came to ski in the Alps
[C]Yo[C]ur[C] father moved across the country just to sunburn his scalp
[C]Co[C]nt[C]ra Costa, Contra Mundum, contradict what I say
[C]Li[C]vi[C]ng like the French Connection, but we'll die [F]in LA
[Em]Blasted from a d[G]isconnected [C]light switch [F]
[Em]Through the condo th[G]at they'll never[C] finish [F]
[Em]Bounced across a Sa[G]udi satelli[C]te dish [F]
And th[Em]rough your brain to [G]California E[C]nglish [C][C][C]
[C]No[C] o[C]ne sits inside a freezing flat and stays there 'til May
[C]Le[C]af[C]ing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK
[C]Wa[C]it[C]ing with the wind against your face and gel in your hair
[C]Sh[C]iv[C]ering in little undershirts, but don't seem to[F] care
[Em]Blasted from a d[G]isconnected [C]light switch [F]
[Em]Through the condo th[G]at they'll never[C] finish [F]

[G]Sweet carob rice cake
She don't[F] care how the [C]sweets taste
[F]Fake Philly cheese steak
But she use r[Em]eal toot[C]hpaste
[F]Cuz if that Tom's don't work
[C]If it just makes you worse
[F]Would you loose all of your fa[G]ith in the go[C]od earth
[F]And if it's all a curse
[C]And we're just getting worse
