Either/Or

Tuning is Standard [or Slightly Flat(5-20 Cents)]
[Verse]
You're strong, you're stubborn now
In an endless symbolic war
Brave or bored, either/or
[Verse]
Sometimes I ricochet from the past
And at times a future I’ve already had before
Champion or chore, either/or
[Bridge]
E D A E [Riff A; Below] D
I’ll write the pages you rip out, back in their places again
One day you’ll know what you’re talking about
I can hardly imagine, but until then I’ll be
Filling in these blanks that you create
Every time you win some petty score
Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Look at the spin chief, battered and broken
[Riff A] D
Clutching a plastic rose
We’re all in the downpour you carry around for
Trashing a lifestyle you’ve never known
[Verse]
It’s a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show and not much more
Up against and for, either/or
=End=
[Riff A]
