Song: Energy 
By:   Collective Soul

[intro:] 4 X [ F ] {staccato tempo}

[verse: 1]
F                           Ab
   Mother or child
                            Eb      {stop} 
I'm such a man for a short while
F {band kicks in}           Ab
   Promises be
                                 Eb {stop}
The world just spins faster than me.      (come on, come on, come on)

[chorus:]
Db                   Ab
   And all of your friends
               Eb
I hear are whispering
             Bb
I think you left me for the government
Db                Ab
And all of your friends
              Eb
I hope are listening
              Bb
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

8 X [ F ]

[verse: 2]
F                      Ab
  Beauty or beast
                      Eb      {stop}
Who's my character to be?
F                                      Ab
  I'm now covering (I'm not covering)
                          Eb  {stop}
All my make-up that makes me         (come on, come on, come on)

[chorus:]
Db                     Ab
    And all of your friends
             Eb
Are now whispering
              Bb
I think you left me for the government
Db                Ab
And all of your friends
              Eb
I hope are listening
              Bb
I wish you'd stop sucking out my energy
 
[chorus:]
Db                     Ab
    And all of your friends
              Eb
Are still whispering
                 Bb
I think you left me for the government
Db                   Ab
And all of your friends
              Eb
I hope are listening
               Bb
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy

[chorus:]
Db                    Ab
    And all of your friends
            Eb
Are now whispering

I think you left me for the government
Db                 Ab
