Third Eye Blind - How's It Going To Be
I'm pretty sure this is the correct way to play this song.
The chords are correct and they sound really good on acoustic guitar, though
the timing above the lyrics may be off since it's difficult to gauge
the exact point where the Cand Bbsus2chord changes take place,
but just listen to the song to better figure it out.
If it helps, the change from Cto Bbsus2is quick,
as the Cchord is strummed once I believe. Same with Gmto F, Gmto F/A  
[Intro]
F   C   Bbsus2(5x)
[Verse]
I'm Fonly pretty sure, that I can't Ctake Bbsus2anymore
Before you Ftake a swing, CI wonBbsus2der
What are we fighting Ffor
When I say out loud, I wanna get oCut of Bbsus2this
I Fwonder, is there anything I'm Cgonna Bbsus2miss
[Chorus]
I wonder Gmhow's it gonna be, when you don't Fknow Cme
GmHow's it gonna be when you're sure F/AI'm not Bbsus2there
GmHow's it gonna be when there's Fno onCe there to talk to
GmBetween you and me, F'causBbsus2e I don't care
How's it gonna FbeC  Bbsus2  
How's it gonna FbeC  Bbsus2  
[Verse]
FWhere we used to laugh there's a CshoutBbsus2ing match
Sharp as a thumbnail Fscratch
A silence I can't ignore, like the ChammoBbsus2ck by the doorway
We spent Ftime in, swings empty
I don't see ClightBbsus2ning like last fall
When it was Falways about to Chit mBbsus2e
[Chorus]
I wonder Gmhow's it gonna be, when it Fgoes Cdown
GmHow's it gonna be when you're F/Anot aroBbsus2und
GmHow's it gonna be when you Ffound Cout there was nothin
GmBetween you and me, F'causBbsus2e I don't care
How's it gonna FbeC  Bbsus2  
GmHow's it gonna Bbsus2be when you don't Fknow me anyCmore
GmHow's it gonna Bbsus2be
[Bridge]
FI wanna get myself back Cin agBbsus2ain
The Fsoft dive of oblivCionBbsus2  
FI wanna taste the salt of your CskinBbsus2  
The Fsoft dive of oblivCion, Bbsus2oblivion
And Gmhow's it gonna Bbsus2be when you don't know Fme anyCmore
GmHow's it gonna Bbsus2be
How's it gonna FbeC  Bbsus2  
How's it gonna FbeC  Bbsus2  
[Outro]
F C Bbsus2
F C Bbsus2

The story behind the song

This song explores the raw, uncertain feelings that come with the end of a relationship, specifically the difficult transition from being intimately connected to becoming mere acquaintances. The band found inspiration for its nostalgic mood when an autoharp was played during an early demo session for their debut album. At its heart, it's a poignant reflection on how two lives that were once intertwined will navigate a new, separate future.
