This is one of my favorites next to sometimes it hurts.
A beautiful song using basic powerchords.

Standard tuning

E
A
D
G
B
e

To the best of my knowledge in tabbing this song
there are only two chords.


B | G
---|---|--
---|---|--
-4-|-4-|--
-4-|-5-|--
-2-|-5-|--
---|-3-|--


intro... is something like that, keep repeating the B
and the G and playing the notes of those
particular chords. It's also played before
the break and inbetween verses.

B G
I keep breaking all the promises

B G
That I keep making to myself

B G
You'd think by now i'd be over this

B G
Instead i'm feeling sorry for myself



B G
So why does everything seem desperate now

B G
I should be feeling so alive

B
But it feels like somethings missing

G
Something's wrong somehow


B
It feels like something


G (PALM MUTE)
Deep inside has died


G B
So why do I feel desperate now

G B
Why do I feel like dying

G B
Why do I feel desperate now

G
Why do I feel desperate now



B G
I keep breaking all the promises

B G
That I keep making to myself

B G
But the promises mean nothing to me anymore

B
Circling the drain


G (PALM MUTE)
Spiraling to hell


G B
So why do I feel desperate now

G B
Why do I feel like dying

G B
Why do i feel desperate now

G
Why do i feel desperate now
