Burn It Down from the album Tin Can Trust
The "G6"= G w/open (e)...I don't really know what it is, but that's what I found with a short look.
* After the Em G6 A sequence there is this little "bow da bow bow" thing...just hit he E string at the  
third fret and then open E to make it(edit: I think it is a hammer on/off). I have no idea how to technically explain that, sorry.
[Intro]
EmG6A     EmEmG6A
    *       
A              Em   Em G6 A
I didn't say a word
A                   Em    Em G6 A
It's only destiny I heard
                            Em       G6 A
The time had come for me to run away
                            Em            G6 A
"Don't even turn around" is what they say
A                Em   Em G6 A
I couldn't say a word
A                   Em    Em G6 A
It's only dignity I heard
                            Em          G6 A
But once I go, there is no coming back
                      Em            G6 D
Throw away all that I one time had           
             A   A C D
I'll burn it down
              A   A C D
Gonna burn it down
              A     EmEmG6A
                  *     
Gonna burn it down
                     Em              Em G6 A
Had tied me up and I couldn't breathe
                        Em           G6 A
I cut the rope and then I broke free
                             Em                 G6 A
Whatever was left I threw it down into the dirt
                             Em               G6 D
And kicked the dust until my damned eyes hurt
             A   A C D
I'll burn it down
              A   A C D
Gonna burn it down
                  A     EmEmG6A  EmG6A
                      *      *   
Gonna burn it all down
                   Em   Em G6 A
I couldn't say one word
                    Em    EM G6 A
It's just mystery I heard
                           Em         G6 A
Maybe I'll miss it on some lonely day
                           Em           G6 D
And maybe think about what I might say
             A     A C D
I'll burn it down
                    A      A C D
'Til it's gone gone gone
                  A     EmEmG6A  EmG6A
                      *      *   
Gonna burn it all down
