Verse 1:
--------
      E5                         F#5
Is it my imagination, or have I finally found
 A5 (w/riff #1)        E5 (w/riff #2)
something worth living for?
      E5                           F#5
I was looking for some action, but all I found
    A5 (w/riff #1)     E5 (w/riff #2)
was Cigarettes and Alcohol

Pre-Chorus:  (w/pre-chorus riff)
-------
A5                  E5
 You can wait for a lifetime
A5                         E5
 To spend your days in the sunshine
A5                        E5   
 You might as well do the white line
               Dsus2          A5
 Cause when it comes on top, 

Chorus:
-------            E5     
 You gotta make it happen 
Dsus2      A5      E5
 You gotta make it happen
Dsus2      A5      E5
 You gotta make it happen
Dsus42     A5      E5       
 You gotta make it happen	
   Dsus2      A5      Cadd9     B7     E5

 Then go back to Intro Riff but second time play with more distortion

 Then play A5 (w/riff #1) and then E5 (w/riff #2)   

Verse 2:
--------
      E5                        F#5
Is it worth the aggravation, to find yourself a job  
            A5 (w/riff#1)         E5 (w/riff #2)
When theres nothing worth working for?
       E5                   F#5
It’s a crazy situation, but all I need
    A5 (w/riff #1)     E5 (with riff #2)
are Cigarettes and Alcohol

Pre-Chorus:  (w/pre-chorus riff)
-----------
A5                  E5
 You can wait for a lifetime
A5                         E5
 To spend your days in the sunshine
A5                        E5   
 You might as well do the white line
               Dsus4          A5
 Cause when it comes on top, 

Chorus:
-------            E5     
 You gotta make it happen 
Dsus4      A5      E5
 You gotta make it happen
Dsus4      A5      E5
 You gotta make it happen
Dsus4      A5      E5       
 You gotta make it happen
