Blast Damage Days (CHORDS) by Jeff Rosenstock
[Intro]~
C G C Am
C G C Am
C G C Am
C G C Am
[Verse 1]~
C G Em B
Whenever days slip away and every moment with me
C G Em B
feels like I’m floating in space because I want to believe
C G Em B
these are my halcyon days,.. but I’m afraid of my age
C G Em B
and don’t know anyone’s name because I can’t concentrate,..
[Chorus]~
G D Bm Em D C
oh,.. I am never letting go of you!
C G C Am
C G C Am
[Verse 2]~
C G Em B
Whenever weeks slip away from being caught in the wake
C G Em B
of the American craze - the overtime,.. underpaid!
C G Em B
These are the Amazon days,.. we are the binge watching age
C G Em B
and we’ll be stuck in a screen until our phones fall asleep!
[Chorus]~
G D Bm Em D C
oh,.. I am never letting go of you!
C G C Am
C G C Am
[Bridge]~
Em D C
We’ll get lost and wander off distracted by fake news!
Em D Am
When our towns fall to the ground it won’t shatter me and you
[Verse 3]~
C G Em B
and when we’re looking around at all the shit that went down
C G Em B
‘cause half of us were too scared and half of us were too proud
C G Em B
to see the systems we start are destined to fall apart
C G Em B
when we let power and greed corrupt our collective heart,..
[Chorus]~
G D Bm Em D C
oh,.. I am never letting go of you!
C G C Am
C G C Am
[Bridge 2]~
Em D C
We’ll get lost and wander off enraptured by fake doom!
Em E/Eb D E/Eb
When our towns fall to the ground,.. oh,.. it won’t shatter me and you
[Verse 4]~
G Em Am D
whenever we feel ashamed being alive and awake
G Em Am D
in such an era of hate and military police!
G Em Am D
These are the mass murder days! We are the blast damage age
G Em Am D
where we can’t love anything because they keep us afraid,..
[Chorus]~
G D Bm Em D
oh,.. I will be there kicking,.. fighting,..
G D Bm Em D G
beating,.. screaming,.. “There’s no fucking way
G D E/Eb Em D C
I’m ever letting go of you!”
