Sleep Through the Static Jack Johnson
this is my first tab but it sounds perfect to me
verse-
[C]Trouble travels fast
When youâ??re specially designed fo[Am]r crash testing
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the [G]afternoon
Come on and tell us what youâ??r[F]e trying to prove
[C]Because itâ??s a battle when you dabble in war
You store it up, [Am]unleash it, then you piece it together
Whether the storm [G]drain running rampant just stamp it
And send it to [F]somebody whoâ??s pretending to care
[C]Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
Learn how to [Am]use them, then abuse them and choose them
Over [G]conversations relationships are overrated
â[F]??I hated everyoneâ?? said the sun
And so I will [C]cook all your books
Youâ??re too good looking and mistooken
[Am]You could watch it instead
[G]
â?¦Or you can sleep through the stati[F]c
chorus-
[C]Who needs [G]sleep when [Am]weâ??ve got love?
W[F]ho needs [G]keys when [C]weâ??ve got clubs?
W[C]ho needs [G]please when [Am]weâ??ve got guns?
[F]Who needs [G]peace when [C]weâ??ve gone above
But [C]beyond [G]where we should have[Am] gone?
We [F]went [G]beyond where we should have[C] gone
verse- same as above
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Waiting for things that never came
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
And either youâ??re weak or youâ??ll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we say not as we do
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
Thatâ??s no way to treat an enemy
Well mighty mighty appetite
we just eat â??em up and keep on driving
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Mind your manners wave your banners
What a wonderful world that this angle can see
chorus-
[C]But who needs to [G]see what [Am]weâ??ve done?
[F]Who needs [G]please when [C]weâ??ve got guns?
[C]Who needs [G]keys when [Am]weâ??ve got clubs?
[F]Who needs [G]peace when [C]weâ??ve gone above
But [C]beyond [G]where we should have [Am]gone?
[F]Beyond [G]where we should have [C]gone
We went [C]beyond [G]where we should have [Am]gone
[F]Beyond [G]where we should have [C]gone
guitar solo out from here but you can just end with C,G,A, F,G,C with the
same rythym as the last line and play each chord once
