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

    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.

    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)
