The Kids Aren't Alright - Offspring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You can play the intro through the entire song if you want to.
Strum the intro with a lot of mutes, almost like your playing a ukulele.
Chord Diagrams are at the bottom!!
Also: If played in Half Step Down, all the annoying sharps are gone.

Intro 1:
Intro 2/Verse: Bbm F# C# Ab
-----------------------------------------
Verse:
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big in every beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
Used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
----------------------
Intro 2/Verse: x2
---------------------
Jenny had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream: reality
-------------------------------------
Chorus:
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
Used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
---------------------------------------------
Just Play Intro 2/Verse over the solo and hum.
----------------------------------------------
Chorus:
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
Used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
