Chords:

Gmodal   :320033

C9       :032033

Dsus4    :000233

Em7      :022033




Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)

   G                              C9             Dsus4
   |-------3--------------3--------------3------------3------|	/|
   |----------3-------------3--------------3------------3----| / |	
   |-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2--|	 |
   |---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-----------|   |
   |------------------------------3--------------------------|   |
   |-3--------------3----------------------------------------| __|__

   Then it repeats, so it almost sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4, Gmodal. 
   So, after the end of the Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G bass note.

    Em            Dsus4           C9                G		 __
   |------3------------3-------------3------------3----------|  /  \
   |--------3------------3-------------3------------3--------| |    |
   |----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0------|	   /
   |---2----------0---------------2------------0-------------|	  /
   |----------------------------3----------------------------|   /
   |-0---------------------------------------3---------------|  /____ 

   Okay, tab 1 at the top is played through twice, then
   play tab 2 twice.  That's the verse.  Then, the next bit
   is played once.  That's the chorus.  Not terribly complex,
   but, hey this IS Green Day, after all.

   Okay, now, it's important that you go straight back into the
   opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
   hanging there.  Then play the first half of the verse once
   through, then start it all over again.
   
Lyrics

Intro: G C9 Dsus4 G (start singing) (the fingerpicking here is 
same as verse (see above))

Verse 1:

G	C9		Dsus4		  G
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road 
G              C9	    Dsus4	         G   
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
Em          Dsus4		   C9	     G
So make the best of these days and don't ask why
Em	   Dsus4	  C9                G
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

Chorus
Em                  G        Em              G
It's something unpredictable in the end it's right
Em                  Dsus4        G (where verse riff cuts back in)
I hope you have the time of your life.  (Start struming G  C  Dsus4)

Verse 2:
G	    C9              Dsus4               G
So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind
G            C9        Dsus4              G
Hang it on a shelf; it could've been good times (couldn't get this line, fix it if you know it)

Em         Dsus4	C9	  G
Tatoos and memories and asking on trial
Em	      Dsus4        C9            G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while


Chorus

Instrumental(Strum over Violins)

Chorus


End with Tab 1 and then |---------|

                        |----0----|
