Listen to the song for the rhythm.
The part after the solo is overdriven, but sounds good either way.

[Verses]

Now maybe

Em D

I didn't mean to treat you bad

Cadd9

But I did it anyway

And now maybe

Em D

Some would say your life was sad

Cadd9

But you lived it anyway

And so maybe

Em D

Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble

Cadd9

As you falter to the ground

And then someday

Em D

Your friends, they stand beside as you were flyin'

Cadd9

Oh you were flyin' oh so high

G Em

But then someday people look at you for what they call their own

They watch you suffer

Cadd9

Yeah they hear you calling home

But then some day we could take our time

Em D

To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us

Cadd9

But you left me far behind

Now maybe

Em D

I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad

Cadd9

But I did it anyway

G Em D

Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had

Cadd9

But you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no

Em D

Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer

Cadd9

Mmm hmmm

G Em D

Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes

Cadd9

But I live with what I've known

G Em

And then maybe we might share in something great

But won't you look at where we've grown

Cadd9

Won't you look at where we've gone

G Em D

But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I feel for you in my mind

Cadd9

As you trip the final line

And that cold day when you lost control

Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me

Cadd9

But you left me far behind
