Everything Is Average Nowadays Kaiser Chiefs
The first chord played is D.
Verse 1:
[D]Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everything is average nowa[Bm]days
Everything is average nowa[D]days
Everyone would do it if they [Bm]can
And everything is going down the [G]pan
And everyone is [G/F#]following the [A]craze
And everything is average
Note: On the G/F# chord, just slide your first finger down to the F# note while keeping
else in position for the G.
Halfway through the verse, there is a quiet little riff which goes like this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-7---8-7-----7---8-7-------------------------------------------------------| G|---------7-----------7-----------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
On the second verse, there is another guitar part which goes like this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-7-----------------------7-------------------------------------------------| G|---9--7---7--9b11----------9-7---7-9---------------------------------------| D|--------9----------------------9-----9-------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chorus:
[G]Not much to believe in[G/F#]
[A]Left up on a shelf
So [G]get your coats we're leaving[G/F#]
We'll [A]just do something else
In the chorus, there is a synthesizer or something playing a riff which goes like this on guitar:
e|-7-5-2-0-2---------7-5-2-0-2-5---------------------------------------------| B|-----------0---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse 3:
Ohhhh Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
And everything is of no consequence
Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
Cos everything is average
Verse 4:
Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to
Chorus:
Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else
Middle 8:
[B]All I need is a [E]ball and a wall
Or a [A]sledge and a hill in [G]heavy [A]weather x2[B]
At this point the chords go back to the verse, along with the first riff.
Chorus:
Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else
In the background, the guitar playing the riff just before now plays this:
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-4----2---------------------------2----4---2-------------------2----7----9----| D|----------5----4----2----4----5-----------------5----4----2-------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And everything is going down the [A]pan
And everyone is following the [B]craze
And everything is average nowa[E]days
