some barred chords to open chords), but I think the open chords sound a little better.
Tuning: EADGBe
Chords are as follows:
Am: x02210
G#/Am: 402210 (throw that pinky out onto the 6th string if you can)
G/Am7: 302010
F#/D7?: 2x0210 or sometimes 2x0212
C: x32010
G: 320033
F: 133211
For the verse, I think it sounds good to hit the root note first, then the rest of the
with a little muting (so it sounds more like the piano). Then get into more strumming at
things could be much worse...".
Then all slow strumming for the chorus. By the way, this is my first tab, so thanks for
the hundreds I leached off of before this one.
And sorry for the lack of proper chord names.

[F#/D7]he gets all that anger from me
[Am]still things could be much w[G#/Am]orse
natural disa[G/Am7]sters on the evening [F#/D7]news
[Am]still things could be much[G#/Am] worse we still got our he[G/Am7]alth
my paycheck in t[F#/D7]he mail
I promised to my [C]wife and [G]children[F]
I'd never touch a[C]nother drink
as l[G]ong as I [F]live but even then
it [C]sounds so [G]soothing[F]
this will blow over in t[F]ime
this will all blow[G] over in t[Am]ime

And one more thing - I saw the Cold War Kids in Philly on 3/29/07 and, if it's not too
I'd recommend seeing them on this tour with the Delta Spirit (who were unexpectedly
- check out their music too) and the Tokyo Police Club (who are balls to the wall rockers as well).
