Okay, well today Americana was released, and I've been listening to the
entire thing for the last 5 hours. One song that stuck out was "No Brakes".
As any guitarist would do when he/she likes a song, they would learn how
to play it. Seeing as there are no new tabs for Americana, I decided to tab
this song for anyone else who wants to play it. So enjoy the accuracy of
these tabs, and enjoy Offspring!

 

Regular tuning

 

Everything is in power-chords!
\= slide down

Lyrics

 

Lay awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Burned at the stake
Inside I'm blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it
Miles below
I look up again
When you snap they say
Before you never show it
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Fuses glow
Wounds festering
Till the wind comes up
And takes it to the last pow
Back and forth
Staring at the wall
This room's a cage
I know that something's got to give now
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
No brakes

 

 

 

 

 

Well, I hope that you enjoyed playing this as I have tabbing it, hopefully
more.
