This song may be quite simple, but its one of my favorites. Bad Religion
is my favorite band by far, and this album is my favorte as well. If anyone
has any info or stuff concerning Bad Religion, please E-mail it to me. Or,
if you just want to talk about them or anything at all, do the same. I have
no girlfriend and I am very lonely. ; )

As you can see I have not indicated rythem what so ever so you'll have to
figure it out yourself.

The intro riff is played several times within the song-

After the second chorus the verse riff is played palm muted for a few
bars. Anyway, that's it! I know a hundred Bad Religion songs and I am going
to post them. If anyone would prefer them in chord format as opposed to Tab,
E-mail me.
