 Verse 1, Part 1: Palm Mute
 There's a lot on my mind, so I guess  that I'll take it one thing at a time
 Still sometimes  I can't help but wonder why
 Verse 1, Part 2: Strum
I  sit around all day, and waste  my whole damn life away
 Still thinking  about just what there is to say
 Chours 1: Strum
Should  I say goodnight, go  to bed turn out  the fu**ing light?
 And leave you shining  in the past
Should  I try and forget  even though  next week it's something  I'll regret?
 Or should I try  and make it last?
 Same as verse 1, but palm mute for the whole verse this time.
I  think about the day when I felt  you'd thrown it all away
 To try  and make me feel like I'm the one
You  were my best friend, and I never  ever thought those days would end
 But now it seems like they are gone
 Chours 2: Same as 1st Chours but with these lyrics:
 What more can I say, I never wanted it to be this way
 And where the hell is yesterday?
 We sure had a blast, I'm sorry that we're living in the past
 Should we try and make it last?
 ** I'm not so sure about this part **
Play this 3X Then play this 1X, holding the C longer
C G E D than the E and D, and then go straight
E--------------------- into Chours 1 with same chords and lyrics.
