E C#m B E E C#m B E E C#m B A A C#m B Notes on intro: It's easiest to play the intro by barring two frets of the the E and A chords with your index finger, and then sliding up the neck to play the C#m and B chords as power chords. Verse (repeat 4x): - play with palm muting

A B E E We'll...|awkwardness alone |
During the chorus,Tyson plays this riff on the e|--------------------|--------------------Korg, but if you want to throw B|--------------------|--------------------it in on guitar here it is G|--9-11-9-11b13b11-9-|--9-11-9-11b13b11-9-(it comes during the two D|--------------------|--------------------measures of E chord above, A|--------------------|--------------------after "awkwardness alone"). E|--------------------|--------------------
Alternatively, if you're e|----------------|----------------playing by yourself, play those B|----------------|----------------two measures like this and it G|------6-6-4-4---|------6-6-4-4---
sounds reasonably like the D|2-2-2-6-6-4-4-2-|--2-2-6-6-4-4---guitar + Korg sound that RHV A|2-2-2-4-4-2-2-2-|--2-2-4-4-2-2---has. E|0-0-0---------0-|--0-0-----------

A B Ne- ver |picking up the phone After first chorus: Intro1 (once) Intro2 (same as Intro1 w/ no last E chord - once) Verse (repeat 2x): The winters here are very cold and I don't know if I will stick around another year. My patience and my blood are wearing thin. And in my head I still see times that You and I can put aside whatever differences It's too bad that things worked out like they did. Pre-chorus (repeat 2x) Chorus After second chorus: Solo (repeat 2x): - rhythm guitar chords for the solo are beneath each measure
