American Eulogy chords & tabs

INTRO
Sing us a song of the century
It sings like American Eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Forgotten hope and the class of '13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me

A. Mass Hysteria
CHORUS
       C5 Db5 Ab5
Hysteria,
                 C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!
                   C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!
                   C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!

VERSE 1
Db5                     Ab5
Red alert is the colour of panic
Db5          Gb5
Elevated to the point of static
Db5                       Ab5
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
                Gb5                                     Ab5
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun

Db5                               Ab5
Idle thoughts lead to full-throttle screaming
Db5                  Gb5
And the welfare's asphyxiating
Db5                           Ab5
Mass confusion is all the new age
                 Gb5                                                   Ab5
And it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom-feeders of...

CHORUS
       C5 Db5 Ab5
Hysteria,
                 C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!
                   C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!
                   C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!

VERSE 2
Db5                             Ab5
True sounds of maniacal laughter
Db5                      Gb5
And the deaf-mute's misleading the choir
Db5                           Ab5
The punchline is a natural disaster
                Gb5                         Ab5
And it's sung by the unemployed

Db5            Ab5
Fight fire with a riot
Db5                     Gb5
The class war is hanging on a wire
Db5                            Ab5
Because the martyr is a compulsive liar
                 Gb5                                                      Ab5
When he said, "It's just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the..."

CHORUS
       C5 Db5 Ab5
Hysteria,
                 C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!
                   C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!
                   C5 Db5 Ab5
Mass hysteria!

BRIDGE
Db                                               Db/C
There's a disturbance on the oceanside
           Bbm                       Ab
They tapped into the reserve
Gb                               Ebm            Ab
The static response is so unclear now

Db5                      Db5/C      
Mayday, this is not a test!
Bb5                                Ab5   
As the neighborhood burns,
Gb5     Eb5
America is falling
G5 Ab5
Vigilantes warning ya,
G5 Ab5
Calling Christian and Gloria

I don't wanna live in the modern world! x4

VERSE 1
                D5       A5
I'm the class of '13
           G5             D5
In the era of dissent
     D5                      A5
A hostage of the soul
             G5                      A5
On a strike to pay the rent
        D5               A5
The last of the rebels
        G5                          D5
Without a common ground
        D5                  A5
I'm gonna light a fire
    G5            A5    D5
Into the underground

CHORUS
D5                    A5               G5           A5
I don't wanna live in the modern world!  x4

BRIDGE
B5          F#5                   G5                   D5  D5/C#
I am a nation without bureaucratic ties
B5            F#5            G5                    A5   
Deny the allegation as it's written fucking lies!

D5  A5  G5  A5  D5

VERSE 2
     D5                   A5                 G5        D5
I want to take a ride to the great divide
     D5                         A5                    G5            A5
Beyond the "up to date" and the neo-gentrified
          D5           A5                  G5           D5
The high definition for the low resident
                    D5                      A5        G5     A5           D5
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt

D5                      A5               G5           D5
I can hear the sound of a beating heart
            D5                        A5                    G5          A5
That bleeds beyond a system that's falling apart
             D5            A5              G5             D5
With money to burn on a minimum wage
         D5
Well, I don't give a shit about the modern age

CHORUS
D5                    A5               G5           A5
I don't wanna live in the modern world!  x4
D5                    A5               G5           A5
I don't wanna live in the modern world! (Mass hysteria!)  (repeat)
