Chords:

Gmodal :320033

C9 :032033

Dsus4 :000233

Em7 :022033

Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)

G C9 Dsus4

|-------3--------------3--------------3------------3------| /|

|----------3-------------3--------------3------------3----| / |

|-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2--| |

|---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-----------| |

|------------------------------3--------------------------| |

|-3--------------3----------------------------------------| __|__

Then it repeats, so it almost sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4, Gmodal.

So, after the end of the Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G bass note.

Em Dsus4 C9 G __

|----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0------| /

|---2----------0---------------2------------0-------------| /

|-0---------------------------------------3---------------| /____

Okay, tab 1 at the top is played through twice, then

play tab 2 twice. That's the verse. Then, the next bit

is played once. That's the chorus. Not terribly complex,

but, hey this IS Green Day, after all.

Okay, now, it's important that you go straight back into the

opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you

hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once

through, then start it all over again.

Lyrics

Intro: G C9 Dsus4 G (start singing) (the fingerpicking here is

same as verse (see above))

Verse 1:

G C9 Dsus4 G

Another turning point a fork stuck in the road

G C9 Dsus4 G

Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go

Em Dsus4 C9 G

So make the best of these days and don't ask why

Em Dsus4 C9 G

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

Chorus

Em G Em G

It's something unpredictable in the end it's right

Em Dsus4 G (where verse riff cuts back in)

I hope you have the time of your life. (Start struming G C Dsus4)

Verse 2:

G C9 Dsus4 G

So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind

G C9 Dsus4 G

Hang it on a shelf; it could've been good times (couldn't get this line, fix it if you know it)

Em Dsus4 C9 G

Tatoos and memories and asking on trial

Em Dsus4 C9 G

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

Chorus

Instrumental(Strum over Violins)

Chorus

End with Tab 1 and then |---------|
