Sleep Through the Static Jack Johnson
For all of the verses you pluck the A string once, play the chord, twice, play the chord
it would look like this:
e|--------------------------------------------1-----------1-------------------| B|----1-----------1-------1-----------1---------------------------1----------1| G|------------------------2-----------2---------------------------2----------2| D|----2-----------2-------2-----------2---------------------------3----------3| A|3---3---3---3---3---0---0---0---0---0---2---2---2---2---2---3---3---3---3--3| E|--------------------------------------------3-----------3-------------------|
the chords on the chorus may be off a little just because of the computer, but you
be able to figure out when they change!!
For the chorus you just play the chords normally...Enjoy!!
Intro C Am G F
Verse
[C]Trouble travels fast
When youâ??re specially designed for crash testing [Am]
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon [G]
Come on and tell us what youâ??re trying to prov[F]e
Because itâ??s a battle [C]when you dabble in war
You store it up, unleash[Am] it, then you piece it together
Whether the storm drain running [G]rampant just stamp it
And send it to somebody whoâ??s [F]pretending to care
Just cas[C]h in your blanks for little toy tanks
Learn how to use them[Am], then abuse them and choose them
Over conversatio[G]ns relationships are overrated
[F]â??I hated everyoneâ?? said the sun
And so I will cook al[C]l your books
Youâ??re too good looking and mistooken
You cou[Am]ld watch it instead
[G]
â?¦Or you can sleep through the static [F] [G]
Chorus
[C]Who needs sleep when[G] weâ??ve got love?[Am]
[F]Who needs keys when [G]weâ??ve got club[C]s?
[C]Who needs please when[G] weâ??ve got guns? [Am]
[F]Who needs peace when[G] weâ??ve gone above [C]
But beyo[C]nd where we should have [G]gone? [Am]
We went [F]beyond where we should h[G]ave gone [C]
Verse
[C]Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about [Am]them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that r[G]ained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Wa[F]iting for things that never came
Shock and awful thi[C]ng to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing[Am] for peace supporting the troops
And either youâ??re weak or[G] youâ??ll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we [F]say not as we do
We say anytime, anywhe[C]re, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Of go[Am]d wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Pic[G]k up the beat and stop hogging the feast
Thatâ??s no[F] way to treat an enemy
Well mig[C]hty mighty appetite
we just eat â??em up and keep on driving
Freedom [Am]can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
[G]Mind your manners wave your banners
What a wonderful world that this[F] angle can see [G]
Chorus
[C]But who needs to see what w[G]eâ??ve done? [Am]
[F]Who needs please when[G] weâ??ve got guns? [C]
[C]Who needs keys when [G]weâ??ve got club[Am]s?
[F]Who needs peace when[G] weâ??ve gone above [C]
[C]But beyond where we [G]should have gone? [Am]
[F]Beyond where we [G]should have gone [C]
[C]We went beyond where we sho[G]uld have gone [Am]
B[F]eyond where we shoul[G]d have gone[C]
