I got fed up of there being no chords for this online, so I worked out some chords
by ear. They're probably not 100%, but they sound alright, so they must be pretty
close, corrections are welcome! I don't think the part that starts with 'I won't
let your dirty hands beat me' is quite right, but it sounds okay just carrying on
playing the G.
I use all barre chords for this, because it's just easier to play, but using the
standard chord shapes is fine too.
Cm
I might not be a saint
G
But if you're looking for a freak,
G#
To light an effigy outside your gates,
G Cm
Well, I guess I could be weirdo of the week,

G

G#

G
It's cause you put your faith in fiction
G# A#
So kick and scream all you want,
G G G#
And burn down my favourite haunts, yeah
A# Cm
We'll see who's laughing in the end
G
If you're trying to break me down then go ahead,
I've got some time I can waste,
G#
You haters go hating cause I've got the patience
G
And a song I can sing at your wake,
Cm
I won't let your dirty hands beat me,
"Get off of me, fuck you!"
G
Keep screaming punk I'll bet this chainsaw can cut through
G
Whoops! I guess I should have known better
G
Than ever letting anyone see my true face, yeah
