For Bret: it's one of those songs where I move the same shape around a lot, and it's in Drop D. I wrote out the intro ages ago as sheet music with chords above: I think that those are the right shapes.
Emaj9/F# F#maj9/G#
Addicted to our screens.
Gmaj9/A F#maj9/G#
Fighting 'stead of chilling.
Gmaj9/A Amaj9/B
The terrorists strain
Bbmaj9/C Bmaj9/C#
To open a vein Emaj7/G# Dmaj7/F# And then they start the killing
Fmaj7-Fmaj7b9 ... hammer-on thing
Zombies who won't croak
Fmaj-Fmaj7b9
Brand the kids as wokies E6/9(b13) F#6/9(b13)
The deadlines still come
G6/9(b13) Ab6/9(b13)
As flouro lights hum
(Ab, Db, Ab, Db,Eb, Ab)
And I mill around the pokies!
Gmaj9/A Amaj9/B
Oh, what's the point of me
Dmaj7/F# Amin9/E
In this faux democracy? Emaj9/F# F#maj9/G#
Miles of urban sprawl
Gmaj9/A F#maj9/G#
slow progress to a crawl
Gminor11 Aminor11
And all I do is sell them
Fminor11 Eminor9/B
To help the rich compel them
Fminor11 Eminor9/B
To heed their beck and call.
Gmaj9/A Amaj9/B
Oh, why can't Edgar see Dmaj7/F#
He's made it 'us and them' Cmaj7/A
Instead of we?
All in 4/4.
