During the verses, you can play the above rhythms or just the plain chords, which are these:
What's Dpassed these hands?
All these drugs and one night stands
So I tGremble when I think of what she'd Ddo
She'd say something like:
"DYou're no good,
You're like the junkies in this neighborhood"
We all Gneed a fix, I guess I need one Dtoo
But I'm Emtry(7ing fr.)madly to Aca(5lm fr.)these nerves
With something Dne(10wfr.)  
I've got this Dheavy debt, I've got nothing left
But this daunting weight slung ‘round my neck
You got the Gcallous mouth, all your endless doubts
We spent these Dfifteen weeks, trying to work it out
Do you Emthink we're getting Ato something Dnew?
(Intro chord sequence on “new”)
|D-sequence|D-sequence|
             N.C.
Oh God, not another fight
I'm always trying to get the details right
I Gremember when you told me you felt Dsaved
And you pGromised you'd lay flowers on my Dgrave
Just Emlike they used to Ado
Is it something Dnew?
And now Dhere I stand
With these blood soaked hands
On these sleepless nights that never end
All these Gsongs I sing
All these hope I cling to
DDesperately wondering
Are we Emfinally getting Ato something Dnew?
(Intro chord sequence on “new,” continuing over final lyrics.)
Is it something new?
Are we finally to something new?
