Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You gotta find out the rhythm by yourself, something fast):

A - E'' - D ------|

A - C# |- play this progression two times

A - F#''- E ------|

Verse 1

Guitar break / Bass plays alone, Vocals start):

Here we are again with another bunch of soft songs,

 Maybe you are wondering why it took us so long,

With a schedule tight, studiotime in sight, we have mostly been out touring

Inspiration has been hard this time and honestly I've had some problems

with all these rhymes.

Chorus

play loud and with lots of distortion, find the rhythm with the CD):

 We're under stress again, but it has always been that way

 And once we get it right, then I know it's there to stay

Verse 2

(

  *)

 Third album, less of ska and not so many fast ones

 More of poppy, pushy songs, those that we do best now

(

  *)

 Nine to five at Unisound in January NINETY-SEVEN

 We had the greatest time, with Dan as engineer, now the outcome is what you

hear

Chorus

some lyric variety):

 We're under stress again, but it has always been that way

 And once we get it right, then I know it's there to stay

 We're under stress again, but we're used to all that now

 It's always tough at first but somehow we always end up fine

-REPEAT INTRO

Bridge

this one is really weird, let us know, if we messed it up):

 If you're lonely or if you're happy

 Feeling swell or feeling blue we might have a tune for you

 And it's about half of an hour,

F#'' E'' ---->A (palm muted)

Maybe less or maybe more whatever it might be it's still softcore

-Now you play a load of palm muted "A5" powerchords

-Then it turns to the chorus again:

 We're under stress again, but it has always been that way

 And once we get it right, then I know it's there to stay

 We're under stress again, but we're used to all that now

 It's always tough at first but somehow we always end up fine

-Play intro(now outro) chord progression 4 times, while they sing:

We always end up fine (We're under stress again) YEAH YEAH

We're under stress again, under stress again.
