A E
I can't sleep a wink anymore
A
Ever since you first walked out the door
E
And I just started drinkin' to forget
A
But I don't think the worst has happened yet
CHORUS:
E
All you ever do is bring me down
A
Makin' me a fool all over town
E
And they all wonder why I wear a frown
A
That's 'cause honey, all you do is bring me down
Its funny how my whole world fell apart
I think I saw it comin' from the start
I tried to tell myself that you'd be true
But I expected way too much of you

Em :022000
Tab 1 & Intro
Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)
G C9 Dsus4
|-------3--------------3--------------3------------3------| then it repeats, so it almost
|----------3-------------3--------------3------------3----| sounds like it goes C, D,
|-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2--| G. So, after the end of the
|---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-----------| D bit, go straight to the G
|------------------------------3--------------------------| bass note.
|-3--------------3----------------------------------------|
Em Dsus4 C9 G
|------3------------3-------------3------------3----------| The above line gets played
|--------3------------3-------------3------------3--------| twice, then this twice, and that's
|----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0------| the verse. Then the line after
|---2----------0---------------2------------0-------------| that is the chorus. Not that
|----------------------------3----------------------------| complex, but this IS Green Day,
|-0---------------------------------------3---------------| after all.

Em Dsus4
|------3---------3------| Okay, now, it's important that you go straight back into the
|--------3---------3----| opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
|----------0---------2--| hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once
|---2----------0--------| through, then start it all over again.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
G C D
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G C D
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
Em D C G
So make the best of these days and don't ask why
Em D C G
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
Chorus
Em G Em G
It's something unpredictable in the end it's right
Em D G (where verse riff cuts back in)
I hope you have the time of your life. (Start struming G C Dsus4)
Verse 2:
G C D G
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
G C D G
Hang it on a shelf; it could've been good times (couldn't get this line, fix it if you know it)
Em D C G
Tatoos and memories and asking on trial
Em D C G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
