Listen to the song for strumming and timing. The parentheses is only played the second time.
Use barre chords for the rest of the song. I didn't tab out the lead guitar.
Verse: E,B,A,A
Chorus: C#m,A,E,B
EB
Don't let them break you.
AA
Don't let them tell you who you are.
EB
Doesn't matter where you come from,
AA
you'll always have a floor to sleep on.
E
And you have your bamboo bones,
B
nervous energy,
A
blind ambition,
A
skin of your teeth.
EB
Push back, push back, push back,
A
with every word and every breath.
C#mA
What god doesn't give to you,
EB
you've got to go and get for yourself.
E
I'm embarrassed to admit it,
B
I've got no grip.
AA
I'm leading with my jaw.
E
Can you see it from a distance?
B
Does it look ridiculous?
AA
I guess that's just what I have to live with.
E
Still I have a mind to think,
B
knees to break,
AA
you standing beside me.
EB
I'm going to push back, push back, push back,
A
with every word and every breath.
C#mA
What god doesn't give to you,
EB
you've got to go and get for yourself.
