The Kids Aren't Alright - Offspring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You can play the intro through the entire song if you want to.
Strum the intro with a lot of mutes, almost like your playing a ukulele.
Chord Diagrams are at the bottom!!
Also: If played in Half Step Down, all the annoying sharps are gone.

[A#m]When we were young the future was so bright
[F#]The old neighborhood was so alive
[C#]And every kid on the whole damn street
[G#]Was gonna make it big in every beat
[A#m]Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
[F#]The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
[C#]How can one little street
[G#]Swallow so many lives
------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
[A#m]Chances thrown
[F#]Nothing's free

[C#]Fragile lives
[G#]Shattered dreams

[A#m]Jay committed suicide
[F#]Brandon OD'd and died
[C#]What the hell is going on?
[G#]The cruelest dream: reality
-------------------------------------
Chorus:
[A#m]Chances thrown
[F#]Nothing's free
