Armatage Shanks Green Day
For me, this is one of Green Day's most relatable songs.
This is super easy to play, so have fun with it!
Billie Joe Armstrong said about this song, "When I wrote that song it was right before
Dookie came out, and I was really at odds with myself. I was like, man, do I really want
to do this? A lot of the time I was thinking about suicide, how it's so easy to kill
yourself, but so hard to stay alive. I was in a break-up with my then-girlfriend, a total,
raving punk rocker who didn't approve of me being on a major label. She moved down to
Ecuador, saying she couldn't live in a world with McDonald's and such. It was f**king me
up pretty bad."
[G]Stranded...lost insi[C]de myself
My own worst f[F]riend
And my own closest e[D]nemy
[G]I'm branded...m[C]aladjusted
Never tr[F]usted anyone
Let alone mys[D]elf
[C]I must ins[G]ist
On be[D]ing a pess[G]imist
I'm a lo[C]ner in a cat[G]astrophic m[D]ind
[G]Elected the reje[C]cted
[F]I perfect the science of th[D]e idiot
[G]No meaning and no he[C]aling
[F]Self loathing freak and in[D]troverted deviot
[C]I must ins[G]ist
On be[D]ing a pess[G]imist
I'm a lo[C]ner in a cat[G]astrophic m[D]ind
[C]I'm gettin' p[G]**sed
I'm a wo[D]rthless pess[G]imist
I'm a lo[C]ner in a clau[G]strophobic [D]mind
