Green Day

Insomniac (1995)



This is the controversial Green Day song about drugs. It was a

single but not a big hit so not such a crowd-pleaser as stuff

like 'When I Come Around' or 'Welcome To Paradise'.  



Still I reckon it's a good song, and it's very easy and fun to

play, as it only involves four simple power chords.



PM = palm-mute

     (mute played strings at the bridge with palm/side of hand.)

   PM       PM



I'm on a mission,

I made my decision,

To lead a path of self-destruction.

Slow progression,

Killing my complexion,

And it's rotting out my teeth.



Chorus:



Run verse into chorus playing G5 chords.

I'm on a roll,

No self-control,

I'm blowing off steam with,

Meth amphetamine.

D|-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-|

I don't know what I want,

But it's all that I've got,

And I'm picking scabs off my

face.



miss off the F5 chords last time



Verse 2:



Every hour,

My blood is turning sour,

And my pulse is beating out of time.

I've found a treasure,

Filled with sick pleasures,

And it sits on a thick white line.



(CHORUS)

(INTRO RIFF x6)



Verse 3:



I'm on a mission,

I got no decision,

Like a cripple runnin' the rat race.

Wish in one hand,

Shit in the other,

And see which one gets filled first.



(CHORUS)
