Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I've done to you

I should die from the shame from what I put you through

Verse 2

Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead

We are still living on broken glass

We are still numb because it just keeps happening

All your friends, they can kiss my ass

Let me be the one to make the pain go away

*Art plays this F, which often turns up in ska influenced music (which
Everclear is not). it's basically just a part of a full F bar :-)

CHORUS

       G                F               C               Am      G
|               |               |               |               |

        F
|               |(repeated)
|               |

then

POST-CHORUS

     C     F     Am      F
||o              |              o||
||o              |              o|| (repeated a couple-a-times)

then play the post-chorus riff twice, first muted then un-muted

TO CHORUS (w/ no post chorus)

BRIDGE (there's quite a few guitars, some are playing open chords like in the
intro & chorus, and then there's some to note power chords then some full
bars) i'm just going to write the three note power chords)

      C                    C
||o              |              o||
||o              |              o||

FULL BARS
a measure of G, a measure of A, a measure of D, a measure of F
the you keep building on F for another three whole measures

then the post chorus is now the pre-chorus (played once)
then TO VERSE
then build up on C for a whole four measures
then play the chous with an additional two measures of C at it's end
then repeat it
then repeat it super soft for outro and sub in this for the final measure of C
