[Intro]
 Am  
 Dsus2 D6sus2/B

[Verse 1]
  Am
Nobody really cared, so it
 never really mattered
   Am
It never really mattered, 
so it never really happened
Dsus2
What's the point in fighting
 for a happy ever after?
    D6sus2/B
The past keeps haunting the
 future, I imagine
Am
All I ever wanted was a 
little peace and quiet
     Am
Just color in the lines, 
and you'll get it like they promise
Dsus2
If you bite the hand, get
 louder and defiant
D6sus2/B                    
Then you'll see how quickly
          G
 they come making a deposit

[Chorus]
Am
One false move, you're a Kennedy
Am
If you fight it you're the enemy
Dsus2
I'm so sick, but I can't
 find a remedy
G
I'm still tryna find my identity
Am
Where's my head? On the podium
Am
Gas me up, no petroleum
Dsus2
I'm so sick, but I can't 
find a remedy
D6sus2/B             G
I'm still tryna find my identity

[Interlude]
Am
Mass detention, debt collection
     Am
Misdirection, got lost, 
missed intervention
   Am
We missed redemption,
 missed reflection
           Am
Kissed the weapon, skipped
 the lesson
Am
Caught an infection
Dsus2
Mass confusion, air pollution
Dsus2
Compromised foreign contribution
D6sus2/B
Mass epidemic, no mask, gonna
 mask call a medic
D6sus2/B
 Go fast or I last apathetic
      Am
Might crash, I'm a hack,
 I'm pathetic I know
Am
Times ain't changing, 
the sun don't show
        Am
And the trees won't grow, 
and the bombs keep dropping
    Am
The fake tan on the TV keeps talkin'
Dsus2
 Just wanna be optimistic
Dsus2
My sanity's gone off ballistic
D6sus2/B
Train was leaving, I just missed it
G     
Guess that I'm stuck with
 this shit, damn

[Chorus]
Am
One false move, you're a Kennedy
Am
If you fight it you're the enemy
Dsus2
I'm so sick, but I can't
 find a remedy
G
I'm still tryna find my identity
Am
Where's my head? On the podium
Am
Gas me up, no petroleum
Dsus2
I'm so sick, but I can't
 find a remedy
D6sus2/B             G
I'm still tryna find my identity

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – Dsus2 – D6sus2/B – G (ii – Vsus2 – V6 – I in G major). In solfa, that is reh – soh – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
