Lyrics(only to verse as chorus and bridge are above)

1 Verse:-
libraries gave us power
then work came and made us free
At what price now
For a shallow piece of dignity

2Verse:-
I wish I had a bottle
right here in my dirty face
to wear the scars
to show from where i came

3 verse:-
I wish i had a bottle
Right here in my pretty face
to wear the scars
to show from where i came

Listening to the record will help to tell you where to sing in the verse.
Also there is this high pitched pinging every verse this can be done on the
guitar
at the 15th fret on the High e string. Whenever James does this live instead
of picking
after the dignity/came bit(at the end of every verse) he strums Cmaj7
heavily. The chords
above the tab are what rhythm guitar would play/the overall sound of each
one.

Chords:-
Cmaj7-x3550x
Dm7add6-x5350x
G7-353433
EbMaj7-x65333
Dm7b5-x5656x
