Sleep Through The Static - Jack Johnson (with lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
[Am]
[G] [F]
[C] Trouble travels fast when you're specially [Dm] designed for [A] crash testing
Or [F#] wearing wool sunglasses in [Em] the afternoon
Come on [F] and tell us what you're trying to prove
[C] Cause it's a battle when you dabble in war
You store it [A] up on a leasher then you piece it together
[Em] Whether the storm drain running rampant
You stamp it, send it [F] to somebody who's pretending to care
[C] Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
Learn [Am] how to use them, then abuse them
And choose them [Em] over conversations
[E] Relationships are [F] overrated
I hate it, everyone said the sun
And [C] so I will cook all your books
You're too good looking and [Am] mistook
And you could watch it instead
From the [Em] comfort of your burning beds
Or you could sleep [F] through the static
[G]
But who needs sleep [Am] when we've got love?
Who [G] needs keys [C] when we've got clubs?
Who needs pleas [Am] when we've got guns?
Who needs peace when [C] we've gone above?
But [G] beyond where we should have gone
We went beyond [C] where we should have gone
Stuck between channels, my thoughts all quit
I thought [Am] about them too much, allowed them to touch
The [E] feelings that [Em] rained down on the planes all dried and [F] cracked
Waiting for things that never [G] came
[C] Shock an awful thing to make somebody think
That they [Am] have to choose pushing for peace, supporting troops
And [Em] either you're weak or you use brute force
Feed the [F] truth is we say not as we do
[G] [C] We say anytime, anywhere
Just show your teeth and strike [Am] the fear of God
Wears camouflage, cries at night and drives [E] a dog
Pick up the beat, stop hogging the feet
[F] That's no way to treat an enemy
[D] Well [C] mighty, mighty appetite
We just eat them [Am] up or keep on driving
Freedom can be freezing, take a picture from the pretty [Em] side
Mind your manners, wave your banners
What a wonderful [F] world that this angle can see
[C] But who needs to [Am] see what we've done?
Who needs [C] pleas when we've got guns?
[G] Who needs [Am] keys when we've got clubs?
[G] Who needs [C] peace when we've gone above?
But beyond [Am] where we should have gone
Beyond [C] where we should have gone
We went [G] beyond [Am] where we should have gone
[G] Beyond [C] where we should have gone
