This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

1) playing near or far too many times I should have known

2) never win or lose too many you'll have to rearrange

3) everything we do is funny it's never good enough

D A E

It can lose you all your sleep at night

It's rock and roll and rock and rock and roll
