You can just play Amaj7, Dmaj7, F#m, and Bm7
(minding the importance of the fretting of the second string
on the 10th fret in the Bm7, as show below);
to do a hybrid between this and Kevin's,
use the transitory chords in parentheses.
E|--------------9--(9)--7--(7)----|
B|--2-(2)-7-(0)-10-(10)-10-(7)----|
G|--1-(1)-6-(6)-11-(9)--7--(7)----|
D|--2-(4)-7-(7)-11-(11)-7--(9)----|
A|--0-(0)-5-(5)-9--(9)--9--(9)----|
E|-----------------(9)--7--(7)----|
This is the chorus melody:

Amaj7
Your skin's in my mouth
Dmaj7
But I'm thinking about
F#m
thousands of things
Bm7
That don't got your name
Amaj7
So I'm distant and weird
Dmaj7
We stop and you're all ears
F#m
But how can I say
Bm7 Dmaj7
I've just been thinking that it's harder every year
A
To find excuses that'll keep me in the clear
Dmaj7
The arbitrary lines I impress in the sand
A
The proof that piles in my trashcan
Dmaj7
While the skin on my hands is looking older every day
A
The lies I've told have turned to leather on my face
Dmaj7
The love I've lost has turned to needles in my heart
A
But I'm to blame for all the bad parts
They're the choices I've made (hey hey)
Amaj7 Dmaj7
F#m
Bm7
That's why I turn my face away
Amaj7 Dmaj7
F#m Bm7
Amaj7
I watch the debates
Dmaj7
Till I can't see straight
F#m
Take abortion away
Bm7
And both sides seem just the same
Amaj7
So I'm not sure why I vote
Dmaj7
'Cause I just don't know
F#m F#m7
What difference it makes
Bm7 Dmaj7
It seems to me we get the same shit from them both
A
Reforms don't work I think it's time we tried revolt
Dmaj7
But I don't got the guts to jump up and go first
A
So I'll just shout until my throat hurts
Dmaj7
And I curse and I curse at what we fucked up in Iraq
A
You say "Support the troops!" I do, I want them all brought back
Dmaj7
And every building you bombed raised from the ground
A
And blow your contractors the fuck out
Dmaj7
And if you really go and reinstate the draft
A
Just straight away just split the country straight in half
Dmaj7
Try arresting everyone who sends their draft cards back
A
I'll be returning mine in no time flat
D
No time flat
F#m
No time flat
Bm
No time flat
C#m D E
(yeah yeah yeah)
(ba da ba)
Amaj7 Dmaj7
F#m Bm7
x2
Amaj7
In a sense we're the same
Dmaj7
Struggling to save face
F#m
A question of scope
Bm7
How far you're willing to go
Amaj7
To make rights of your wrongs
Dmaj7
Despite the risk involved
F#m Bm7
A question of faith...
D
'Cause if we wait until we've all been burned to ash
A
To tell the truth about the shit buried in our past
D
We'll split a taxi to that fire pit way down south
A
So let's rise up and open our mouths
Dmaj7
'Cause you remind me that it's harder every year
A
To find excuses that'll keep me in the clear
Dmaj7
The arbitrary lines I impress in the sand
A
The proof that piles in my trashcan
Dmaj7
And if you really go and reinstate the draft
A
You'll straight away just split the country straight in half
Dmaj7
So try arresting everyone who sends their draft cards back
A A A
I'll be returning mine in no time flat
