Verse 1, Part 1: Palm Mute
 GThere's a lot on my mind, so I Eguess that I'll take it one thing at a time
Still Csometimes I can't help but wonder Dwhy
Verse 1, Part 2: Strum
GI sit around all day, and Ewaste my whole damn life away
Still Cthinking about just what there is to Dsay
Chours #1: Strum
EShould I say goodCnight, Ggo to bed turn Dout the fu**ing liEght?
And leave you sChining in the pDast
EShould I try and forCget even Gthough next week it's sDomething I'll regEret?
Or should I Ctry and make it lDast?
Verse 2: Same as verse 1, but palm mute for the whole verse this time.
GI think about the day when I Efelt you'd thrown it all away
To Ctry and make me feel like I'm the oDne
GYou were my best friend, and I Enever ever thought those days would eCnd
But now it seems like they are Dgone
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?
Bridge: ** 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
