E|--1--|--0--|--3--|--5--|--7--|
 Note: I think the strum pattern here is: V V V^V | ^ ^V^ ^V^
  Hence, for F/E and G, the first strum is an up-strum
 And  all these distant faded memories  of everything  I used  to be
 Are bringing  me down;  yeah, they're bringing  me down
And  the leading cause of death  I plead is from  my insecurity
 And it's bringing  me down;  yeah, it's bringing  me down
Down........
Down........
 Post-chorus:
Note:  The strum  pattern for the second half is V^ ^ ^V | ^ ^V V^
 Yeah, hope  is all I really  need to wash  my selfishness  and greed
 But there's no hope  to be found;  no, I've looked  all around
 And if  this life that  I've led only  leads to tears  in bed
 Then I  won't hang around;  no, I won't  hang around
 Repeat chorus twice
Play the following riff twice:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----1------1------3------3-----5-------5-------3-------3-----|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
A|-3------3------5------5------7------7-------5-------5---------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
 Note: Now, one guitar plays the chords below, while the other continues playing the riff
  You can play the chords here as power chords, if you wish.
 Now I've  come to  conclusions that I'm empty
 I thought  I still  had everything in  me
 Repeat verse 1, except last line is:
 And it's bringing me down; Down...
 End on G
