Carpe Diem Green Day
The only recording of this song is from a live show, so no one (other than the band) is
100% sure about the lyrics. You may have to play down or up half a step based on how
your guitar is tuned. There's a couple parts where I'm leaving it up to the individual
to improvise, like on the solo and that little quiet spot near the end.
[D] [G] [A] [D]
[D] [A] [G] [D]
[A]Br[D]eaking in a sweat
[A]Li[D]ke a bomb threat
[A]Us[D]e your silhouette, [Bb]fad[A]ed out
[A]No[D]thing left to lose
[A]De[D]tonate the fuse
[A]An[D]other break and you [Bb]fal[A]l out
[A]Ge[D]tting off a binge
[A]Ge[D]t a second wind
[A]An[D]other promise, just [Bb]mak[A]e a change
[A]Go[D]t a broken wing
[A]He[D]ar the angels sing
[A]Wi[D]th a signal that's ou[Bb]t o[A]f range
[Bb]mak[A]e a change, [Bb]mak[A]e a change
[D]Carpe diem, a [G]batt[A]le [D]cry
[D]aren't we all too [A]young [G]to [D]die
[D]Ask for reason, and [G]no [A]rep[D]ly
[D]aren't we all too y[A]oung [A]to [D]die
[G]Making a [D]living
[G]Making a [D]killing
[G]What's worth [D]forgiving
[A]A life
[A]An[D]d the other night
[A]Ba[D]rely scraping by
[A]Do[D]minated by p[Bb]asse[A]r-by's
(same chords as above)
Feeling out of luck
When the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind
(same chords)
Getting off a binge
Get a second wind
Another promise, just make a change
(same chords)
Got a broken wing
Hear the angels sing
With a signal that's out of range
[Bb]any[A] change [Bb]any [A]change
[D]Carpe diem, a [G]bat[A]tle [D]cry
[D]aren't we all too [A]young [G]to [D]die
[D]Ask for reason, and [G]no [A]rep[D]ly
[D]aren't we all too [A]young [G]to [D]die
[G]Making a [D]living
[G]Making a [D]killing
[G]What's worth [D]forgiving
[A]A life
(same chords as above, but palm muted)
Making a living
Making a killing
What's worth forgiving
A life/alive
(same chords as other chorus)
Carpe diem, a battle cry
are/aren't we all too young to die
Ask for reason, and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die
Carpe diem, a battle cry
are/aren't we all too young to die
Ask for reason, and no reply
Are/aren't we all too young to die
If this isn't perfect, it's close enough for now. Stay groovy and keep on rockin'.
