CHORDS USED:             E-A-D-G-B-E

E|------------| ----------- 

D                --      0-0-0-2-3-2
G                --      3-2-0-0-3-3
Am               --      0-0-2-2-1-0
Em               --      0-2-2-0-0-0


NOTE: The D doesn't sound exactly right to me in all 
places. I did try a whole host of other chords but I
couldn't quite get one to match! If you do find a 
better fit then please do let me know in the comments
section below! Thanks

Top tips: If playing an acoustic version, perhaps try 
switching out the Em for an Em7 (0-2-2-0-3-3) in
places to create a slightly different sound! Also, try 
palm muting when playing the bridge for a sound
that is closer to the original.

NOTE: (Thanks to user MattySievers for this!) E in the 
verses should really be a B for two counts then
E for two counts as the guitars and bass really do seem
 like they're sliding from the B up five octaves
to the E.   <----- this version? Better for being 
true to the actual song as a band performance
                   My original version? Better for 
acoustic and solo performances

[Intro]
Em   G   D


[Verse]
Em
Oo they don't hear us
        G               D
Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks
Em
Oo try to reign us in
G              D
Blind to our intelligence

Em
Standardization of the masses
G                D
Give us a number fail or pass us
Em
Education, manipulation
G                   D
Decide our fate but never ask us

C      D        Em
We're about to boil over
C        D         Em
You can't keep us down forever

[Chorus]
C          G           D         Am
We got too big for the cage, you locked us up in
C               G           D            Am
Let's mark this down as the day, that we started 
something
C                 G
So open the gate, open the gate cause when we
D               Am
Finally escape, finally escape we'll be
C         G         D
Tearing through the streets
D
Running with the wild things

Em   G   D


[Verse]
Em
Hey why you waiting
     G                  D
Quit carving notches to count the days ‘cause
Em
They're losing power
        G              D
See ‘em growing weaker by the hour

C      D        Em
We're about to boil over
C        D         Em
You can't keep us down forever

[Chorus]
C          G           D         Am
We got too big for the cage, you locked us up in
C               G           D            Am
Let's mark this down as the day, that we started 
something
C                 G
So open the gate, open the gate cause when we
D               Am
Finally escape, finally escape we'll be
C         G         D
Tearing through the streets
D
Running with the wild things

Em   G   D

[Bridge]

Standardization of the masses

Give us a number fail or pass us
Em         G
Education, manipulation

Decide our fate but never ask us
Em         G
Education, manipulation
D                   Am
Decide our fate but never ask us
Am
Never ask us
Am
Never ask us!
