Empty Causes Bad Religion

[C]Everywhere you [G]looked there was [Am]confusion, violence,

[Em]drama and [F]dru[G]gs

[C]So many rigtheous [G]revolutionaries [Am]spouting

[Em]utopian [F]love

[E]Everyone shouted in purple[Am]haze

Then one [E]day they woke up from their dream [Am]state

They found [G#]themselves no more at peace then [D#]before

Older, meek and con[G]formed

Chorus 1:

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

A [F]bluster for the soul, a [G]fix for the mind

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

[F]Cling to every[G]thing you [C]find[G]

2nd verse:

[C]Well, the shots rang out like [G]popcorn and the [Am]chief was hit

and [Em]rushed out of [F]si[G]te

[C]The mohawk-chained, [G]leather brigade re[Am]joiced malicious[Em]ly

on that [F]night [E]Someone cried out "Fuck the govern[Am]ment"

[E]His mates couldn't define what he [Am]meant

So no [G#]one gave him the time of [D#]day And the scene died a[G]way

Chorus 2:

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

A [F]war for the body, an [G]army in the mind

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

[F]Losing steam as [G]time goes by[C]

Bridge:

[F]Could it be that [G]everybody [C]selfish[B]ly de[Am]sires their[G#]

own personal [D#]reti[A#]nue?

And the [F]causes are [G]just manifesta[C]tions of [B]too much [Am]time

and [G#]far too little to[D#]do[G]

(Guitar solo in C major)

Chorus 3:

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

[F]Direction for the soul, [G]conviction for the mind

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

[F]Cling to it all[G] everything you find

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

A [F]war for the body, an [G]army in the mind

[C]Em[G]pty [Am]causes[Em]

[F]You've got yours and [G]I've got mi[C] [G] [Am] [Em] [F] [G]ne

[F(VIII]Aah aah [F(I]aah aah [C]aah
