G 
I want friends who don't give a fuck again
G                                                            Cadd9
I'm going to do all of the things I said I'd do when I was a kid
C                      G                       G
.....Exist between the margins not between the lines
D    Dsus             Cadd9
.....Getting my hands dirty
C                      G 
.....Not living life romanticised


[Verse 2]

G 
I see people that I love melting into mortgages
                                           Cadd9   
And low interest bank loans, income tax percentages
C                            G
.....And it's all so fucking meaningless


[Bridge]

D     Dsus               Cadd9
......Trivial and self imposed
C                             G         
It'll kill you if it can, and it wants to
D      Dsus                  Cadd9
.......It's knocking at your door
C                           G 
Telling you to get what you paid for


[Chorus]

    Em                 G 
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9             C
But living has always always been free
    Em               G            D        Dsus          Cadd9
And we are born with every single thing... we could ever need
    Em                 G 
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9             C
But living has always always been free
    Em               G            D           Dsus          Cadd9 
And we are born with every single thing, that we could ever need
C                  
.....We could ever need  


[Verse 3] 

G 
Can't love anything before and after 9 to 5
G  
The only thing you cannot buy is time
           Cadd9          C                         G
And if you saved it, with half the fucking zest you saved your money
      D          Dsus     D    
You'd realise
Cadd9  C                                 G 
.......That there is nothing you need to buy
 

[Verse 4]

G 
Just be happy that you were able to survive
                                    Cadd9
All we are is bags of bones pushing against
C              G     G    
......The self imposed tide
D     Dsus               Cadd9    C               G 
......Just be content...          with staying alive


[Bridge]

D                 Dsus                   Cadd9     C           G       
......Cause it'll kill you if it can...        and trust me it wants to
D     Dsus                  Cadd9
......It's knocking at your door
C                           G 
Telling you to get what you paid for


[Chorus]

    Em                 G 
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9             C
But living has always always been free
    Em               G            D           Dsus          Cadd9
And we are born with every single thing, that we could ever need
    Em                 G 
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9             C
But living has always always been free
    Em               G            D           Dsus          Cadd9       
And we are born with every single thing, that we could ever need
C
....We could ever need  


[Verse 5]

G 
Cause greed is glory and God is money
                                             Cadd9
Government is government it's all so fucking meaningless
C                                  G
......They don't cancel each other out
D     Dsus                Cadd9                                    G 
......We didn't need them then - We sure as hell don't need em now


[Outro]

D     Dsus                     Cadd9            C              
......We were born kicking and screaming filthy and free
D     Dsus                       Cadd9            C            D    G
......And that's how every other second... of our lives deserves to be
