Hi folks,
these chords are based on the "Nervous Energies" session.
Check this version out on youtube!
Some chords are a bit tricky, I don't know if they're 100% right or how
they're named correctly but here's my suggestion. Sounds good to me. ;)

// capo on 3rd fret
1st verse
The first sin that I once told
A7Sus4 B6
Was to my parents at ten years old
I stole somethin' I'll admit it
But not to priests or crucifixes
Me and my best friend Chris
A7Sus4 B6
We built our alibis from bricks
And when we were questioned we just read our scripts
"I didn't do it"
D Asus4/G Asus4 E7sus4 Dsus2* Asus4/G Asus4
2nd verse
The first crime I did commit
A7Sus4 B6
Was mischief night with my friend Chris
We packed our bags with toilet paper,
Bars of soap, and egg containers
Bm Dsus2 A7Sus4 B6
And we targeted everyone who ever seemed to do us wrong
Oh how the time turns on
1st Chorus
And maybe Einstein can express
The formulaic mysteries of time
But I've lost the time
Dsus2* Asus4/G
And maybe Kafka was a writer
But I've been living like my name is Samsa
3rd verse
The first night I got my fix
A7Sus4 B6
Was with my brother and my friend Chris
We stole my mothers Smirnoff vodka
Mixed it with some cans of Fresca
We learned how our parents lived
A7Sus4 B6
And found that we were good at it
Meet me at the bottom or in between
2nd chorus
And maybe Einstein can express
The formulaic mysteries of time
But I've lost the time
Dsus2* Asus4/G
And maybe Kafka was a writer
But I've been living like my name is Samsa
Outro [2x]
Dsus2*
See you in hell
I'll see ya when I see ya
See you in hell
I'll see ya when I see ya
//let Dsus2* ring at the end
have fun! :D
