CAPO: 3rd FRET
Key: Gm
 
INTRO:
Em  G  C  G
 
 
VERSE:
G          Em                G
We all got   big plans, but nothing to do
         C                 G
Saturday afternoon, couch surfin' the news
        Em                     G
We get high to escape the new locals
              C
What the TV shows ain't  nothing
       G                        Em
But a heartbreak on a dead-end road
 
 
PRE-CHORUS:
 Em                     G
We're all tired of the shit they're sayin'
C                      G
We don't understand so we keep waitin'
Em                  G
 For our moment to shine
                         C
For a chance to make it right
                G
For a reason to try
 
 
CHORUS:
Em                            G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
C                            G                         Em
 Ain't we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
                          G
The world's begging for change
                     C              G
And we get carried away helping ourselves
 
Em                            G                            C  G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Em                            G            G   C          G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to be something, beeee something
 
 
VERSE:
 G         Em             G
All I want is somehow to make my folks proud
              C                      G
Thought it'd take a few months in a ten-year town
          Em                 G
But it's hard and harder to pray and harder to say
     C                           G
I'm sorry but I'm workin' and I can't talk today
 
 
PRE-CHORUS:
Em                    G
 I'm so tired of the shit I'm sayin'
 C                       G
And I don't like it but hell I keep on waitin'
Em                 G
 For a moment to shine
                      C
To make it all al-al-right
 C
And make 'em smile
G                 Em
I wanna make 'em smile
 
 
CHORUS:
Em                            G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
C                            G                         Em
 Ain't we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
                          G
The world's begging for change
                     C              G
And we get carried away helping ourselves
 
Em                            G                            C  G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
Em                            G            G   C           G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to be something, beeee something
 
 
 
BREAK:
Em        G                    Am
  I just wanna make them smi-i-ile
                     G
I'm so tired of the shit I'm saying
              Em         G   Am  G
I just wanna mean something

 Ain't we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
                          G
The world's begging for change
                     C              G
And we get carried away helping ourselves
 
Em                            G                            C  G
 Ain't we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
