21St Century Breakdown
Green Day
Key : C
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C5 | G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 | G5 
C5 | G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 | G5 

[Pre-Verse (1)]
---------------------
C5 | G5 | F5 | C5 
G5 | F5 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C5                        G5             F5 
   Born in to Nixon I was raised in hell,
C5                           G5                F5 
   a welfare child where the teamsters dwelled.
C5                       G5           F5 
   Last one born and the first one to run,
C5                          G5     F5 
   my town was blind from refinery sun.
A5                    F5 
   My generation is zero,
                     F5              G5 
I never made it as a working class hero.

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C5           G5      F5 
Twenty first century breakdown,
  C5                G5        F5 
I once was lost but never was found,
  C5               G5             F5 
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
       C5        G5      F5 
to the twentieth century dead line.

[Pre-Verse (2)]
---------------------
C5 | G5 | F5 | C5 | G5 | F5 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C5               G5         F5 
   I was made of poison and blood,
C5                 G5       F5 
   condemnation is what I understood,
C5                    G5     F5 
   video games to the towers fall,
C5                          G5      F5 
   home land security could kill us all.
A5                    F5 
   My generation is zero,
                     F5              G5 
I never made it as a working class hero.

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C5           G5      F5 
Twenty first century breakdown,
  C5                G5        F5 
I once was lost but never was found,
  C5               G5             F5 
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
       C5        G5      F5        G5  G5 
to the twentieth century dead line.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G5                                        C5 
We are the class of the class of thirteen,
G5                          C5 
born in the era of humility,
G5                                  C5 
we are the desperate in the decline,
G5                                    C5  G5   C5 
raised by the bastards of nineteen sixty  nine.

[Bridge (1)]

G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 
G5 | C5 

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C5                    F5   G5   C5 
My name is no one the long lost son,
                        F5  G5  C5 
born on the fourth of July,
                     F5    G5     C5 
raised in the era of heroes   and cons
                          F5   G5  C5 
that left me for dead or alive.
              F5    G5  C5 
I am a nation a  worker of pride,
                  F5      G5  C5 
my debt to the status quo,
                          F5       G5    C5 
the scars on my hands and the means   to an end,
                     F5      G5  C5 
it's all that I have to show.

[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 
G5 | C5 | G5 

[Verse 5]
---------------------
C5   C5                       F5       G5    C5 
   I swallowed my pride and I choked on   my faith,
                           F5   G5  C5 
I've given my heart and my soul.
                           F5          G5    C5 
I've broken my fingers and lied through   my teeth,
                        F5   G5  C5 
the pillar of damage control,
                               F5        G5    C5 
I've been to the edge and I've thrown the   bouquet,
                              F5    G5  C5 
of flowers left o'er from the grave,
                          F5     G5    C5 
I sat in the waiting room wasting   my time
                              G5 
and waiting for Judgement day.
  F5       G5  C5 
I praise liberty,
    F5         G5  C5 
the freedom to o__bey
       F5             G5   C5 
is the song that strangles me,
     F5              G5 
well don't cross the line.
F5 | G5 | F5 | G5 | F5 | G5 

[Outro]
---------------------
G5 | C5 | G5 | C5 
C5 | A5 | G5 | F5 | G#5 
C5    C5            A5 
   Oh dream, Americadream,
  G5         F5             G#5           C5 
I can't even sleep from the light's early dawn.
   C5             A5 
Oh scream, Americascream,
  G5             F5        G#5
believe what you see, from heroes and cons.
