Sleep Through The Static Tabulatur von Jack Johnson (für Baryton)

C
Trouble travels fast
                                   Am
When you're specially designed for crash testing
                                  Em
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
                                F
Come on and tell us what you're trying to prove
               C
Because it's a battle when you dabble in war
                   Am
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
                  Em
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
                   F
And send it to somebody who's pretending to care
     C
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
             Am
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
            Em
Over conversations relationships are overrated
F
"I hated everyone" said the sun
              C
And so I will cook all your books,You're too good looking and mistooken
          Am
You could watch it instead
                                    Em
From the comfort of your burning beds
                                    F   G
...Or you can sleep through the static
C         G          Am
Who needs sleep when we've got love?
Am        Em        C
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
C         G           Am
Who needs please when we've got guns?
Am        Em         C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
    C      G                    Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
        Am     Em                   C
We went beyond where we should have gone
C
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
           Am
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
                  Em
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
 F
Waiting for things that never came
          C
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
                         Am
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
                  Em 
And either you're weak or you'll use brute force-feed the truth
                F
The truth is we say not as we do
       C
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
   Am
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Em
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
          F
That's no way to treat an enemy
            C
Well mighty mighty appetite

We just eat 'em up and keep on driving
Am
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Em
Mind your manners wave your banners
                 F                         G
What a wonderful world that this angle can see
    C            G   Am
But who needs to see what we've done?
Am        Em          C     
Who needs please when we've got guns?
C         G         Am
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
Am        Em         C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
    C      G                    Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
Am     Em                   C
Beyond where we should have gone
        C      G                    Am
We went beyond where we should have gone
Am     Em                   C
Beyond where we should have gone
