  You can play power chords or regular chords I think they use the power chords for the verse.
  She  fills my bed  with gasoline
  You  think I would've  noticed
  Her  mind's made  up The love is gone
  I think someone's  trying to show us  a sign
  That  even if  we thought it would  last
  The  moment would  pass
  My  bones will break  and my heart would give
  Oh,  it hurts to live
  And  I remember the day  when you left for Santa  Monica
  You left me to remain  with all your excuses for everything
  And  I remember the time  when you left for  Santa Monica
  And  I remember the day you told  me it's over
 Em chord (down,down,up)... H* 12th fret e..b. H*
 7th fret g..gG chord (down,down,up) G chord (down,up)
 but when you do the upstroke move your finger on the
 low e string to the second fret which gives it that
 slight change you here... H* 5th fret a,d,g strings all together.
  It  hurts to breathe,  Well every  time
  that  you're not next to  me
  Her  mind's made up,  The girl is gone
  And  now I'm forced  to see
  I  think I'm  on my way
  Oh,  it hurts to live today
  Oh  and she says  "Don't  you wish
  you  were dead like  me?"
  And  I remember the day  when you left for Santa  Monica
  You left me to remain  with all your excuses for  everything
  I  remember the time  when you left for Santa  Monica
  And I remember the  day you told me it's over
 
  I wanted more than this (1)
  I needed more than this (2)
  I deserve more than this (1)
  But it just won't stop (2)
  It just won't go away (1)
  I needed more than this (1)
  I wanted more than this (2)
  I asked for more than this (1)
  But it just won't stop (2)
  It just won't go away (1)
  And  I remember the day  when you left for Santa  Monica
  You left me to remain  with all your excuses for everything
  And I remember the time  when you left it all  behind
  And I remember the  day you told me it's over
  And  I remember the day  when you left for Santa Monica
  You left me to remain  with all your excuses for  everything
  And I remember the  time when you left for Santa  Monica
  Yeah, I remember  the day you told me it's over
 Well thats it just get the strumming figured out and enjoy.
 That harmonic part after the first chorus I couldn't really
 figure out by ear but it works for me I'm sure it's not
 totally correct but the rest of the song should be fairly
 close. Enjoy.
