Chords for Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown Live @ BBC Radio 1 Sessions with Zane Lowe

But you did in Oakland, which um, you know, how was that experience going out there and sort of I suppose officially getting it out
It's good to own it, you know, like finally like letting go of the record after finishing it was a hard part, but then
Taking it back.
It's live, you know as it is I've heard about the letting go
I've heard about the difficulty of letting go and I literally came down at the beginning of April and and I think I actually read
Somewhere that butch you you know, you trusted producer now I've had to say listen.
It's you just got to walk away
Yeah, yeah.
Well, no, he was always encouraging about writing new songs
_ _ He's a bit of an anal retina fart too, but he's a walking contradiction _
[F] Not _ _ [E] bad for a bunch of guys with hangovers
_ _ _ _ _ _ We [A] _ _ finally figured [C#] out how to like play the drunk _ _ that was the ultimate goal

_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] I want some [G#] chocolate never [F#] was found.
[C#] I [G#] think I'm missing [F#] what's left of my mind.
[C#] To the [G#] 20th [F#] century tell I
_ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We are the class of, the class of 13.
Born in the era of humility.
We are the desperate in the decline.
Raised by the bastards of _ [C#] 1969. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm a child of a lost son.
Blood on the floor, [G#] flesh and [C#] mind.
They see the end, the rest is gone.
So let me forget [G#m] all the lies.
[C#m]
I am [F#] a nation, a [C#] worker, a fight.
My debt to the [C#m] status quo.
I've got my hands [F#] and I'm [C#] here to win.
It's all that I [G#] have to show.
[C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I swallow my pride and I shut up my face.
I give it my all and my soul.
I'm locking my fingers [F#] and [C#] I turn my teeth.
The pillar of damage [G#] control.
_ [C#m] I reach to the edge and I slow down.
So I play with bothers from the movement.
_ I started to [G#] edit, replacing [C#] my time.
Who edits [G#] my time?
I'm saying [F#] I'm
[G#] In this [C#] limousine.
_ [F#] We don't [C#] chill all day.
[F#] It's a song [C#] that's trying to play.
[G#] [F#] Well, it sounds [G#] like it.

_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh dream, [G#] _ _
America [A#] dream.
[G#] I can't hear [F#] a thing.
[D#m] [A] The lights [C#] are lit off.
_ _ _ Oh scream, _ [G#] _ America _ [A#] scream. _
[G#] Believe [F#] what you see.
