    During the bass solo & verses, alternate between E7 and Amaj, using palm
  • muting. As the song progresses, Trey uses less and less muting, so use your
    judgment. (for chords that you don't know, see the chord chart at the end)
     
  • Chorus
     
    G A
  • But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned
    G E7
    As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
  • G A
    And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
    G A
  • Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
    G A
    All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone
  • G
    Can't this wait till I'm old?
    (use main riff)
  • Can't I live while I'm young?
