verse 1: 

Am 
I got opposition every single day 
E                          E7                     Am 
You always want the same things done the same old way 

Funny how you always think you're always right 
     E                                 E7                                                            
Who died and made you God, and did it happen overnight 

Pre-Chorus 

       F 
Don't dance like that anymore 
                  E 
Don't wear those clothes anymore 
       E7                F 
Don't take that stance anymore 

Turn it down, do what you're told 
         E                      E7 
If it's too loud, well then you must be too old 


Am 
Wake up the dead now 
          E                     E7 
Make 'em roll in their graves now 
        Am 
Shakey shake up the dead now 
F 
Rising up from the ground 
E7 
Wake 'em up, shake 'em down 

verse 2: 

Am 
You like to watch and judge my life up on the screen 
E                         E7             Am                         
You figured out what goes on behind the scenes 

Got a rumor that you want to show and tell 
E                                 E7 
Nobody's gonna buy the lie you're trying to sell 

Pre-Chorus 

       F 
Don't talk like that anymore 
                  E 
Don't speak your mind anymore 
       E7                   F 
Don't think those thoughts anymore 

Turn it down, do what you're told 
         E                      E7 
If it's too loud, well then you must be too old 

Chorus 

Bridge: 

     F              E        E7     F 
Wake up you sleepy heads get out of bed 
                 E           E7       F 
If we make some noise we'll wake the dead 
                        E                E7         F                  
Make 'em roll in their graves when they hear this sound 
                       E 
Raise 'em up from the ground, turn 'em upside down 

Chorus
