D-DU-UDU
 He starts playing a G5 chord with what sounds like a wah and he's using a "killswitch",
 which is usually done by using a Gibson styled guitar (LP, SG, whatever) and turning off
 one pickup and using the pup selector to make the choppy sound you hear.
 Main progression:
Why  don't you  condone it
 Why don't you set me free
 I don't think  you own it
 Cause it belongs  to me
 And if I ever  want to take  it back
You  try to lie  and hide it
 Look who laughing last
 Everyone  around me thinks  they know
They  try to see  it
 But I don't let  it show
 Stay out of my business
 Keep your hands  off my door
I've  got a bed
 I'd rather sleep on  the floor
 Screaming in my head
 I don't like it anymore
No  place to go
Whoa-ohhhhoh
Leave  me alone
Whoa-ohhhhoh
 I don't  want to know
 (SAME AS VERSE 1)
 Nobody ever seems to understand
 Every day I wake up
 And do the best that I can
 I've got my problems
 You've got yours too
 You try to label me
 Have you ever looked at you
 Nobody's perfect
 I really think you do
 And if you are why am I standing next to you
 I spin my wheels and try to figure it out
 What's going on
 And what's it all about
 Where did I go wrong
 I think I'm having my doubts
 About what you said
 And what you're going to do
 I'm so pissed off
 I blame it on you
 I've done it all
 There's nothing left for me to do
 What's going on
 Piss on you
