In the chorus, there are two guitars.

Every chord gets played around 8 times

I’m not too sure about the 2nd chord. Mail me if you know the right chord.

After the first chorus, this is what happenes:

POST-CHORUS1 (GUITAR 1):

Instead of the two notes at the end, the 1st guitar now plays:

e|-----8--7--8--7----------|----19-------------19----------|

B|-----------------8-------|-------------------------------|

G|--7-----------------7----|--------19--19---------19--19--|

D|-------------------------|-------------------------------|

A|-------------------------|-------------------------------|

E|-------------------------|-------------------------------|

POST-CHORUS1 (GUITAR 2):

The 2nd guitar finishes normally, and the plays this:

e|-------------------------|

B|-------------------------|

G|-----7------7------------|

D|-----7------7------------|

A|-----5------5------------|

E|-------------------------|

Listen to the CD to find out about the rythym. They get played a lot.

After the 2nd verse, the 2nd guitar plays another rythym.

POST-CHORUS2 (GUITAR 2):

e|--------------------|--------------------------|

B|--------------------|--------------------------|

G|----7---7---7---7---|--7----------55555555-----|

D|----7---7---7---7---|--7---5--5---55555555-----|

A|----5---5---5---5---|--5---5--5---33333333-----|

E|--------------------|------3--3----------------|

PM . . . . . . . . . . . .

Same rythym as in the verses, palm muted

After the ‘silent’ part, the 2nd guitar starts again like this

GUITAR 2 RESTART:

e|-----------------------|

B|-----------------------|

G|----5555555------------|

D|----5555555---3333-----|

A|----3333333---3333-----|

E|--------------1111-----|

After that play the chorus from position A (see above)

The ending goes like this:

ENDING (GUITAR 1):

Again, the 1st guitar skips the two notes at the end of the chorus and plays this instead:

Play 2x Play 2x

e|---------|---8-7-------|--8-7-8-7-----|---8-7-------|

B|--8------|-------8-----|----------8---|-------8-----|

And here are the lyrics:

VERSE1

I'm so tired, I need sleep

I'm talking to my pillow case, what's wrong with me?

I make mistakes, but them's the breaks

I'm crying out for anyone to come and rescue me

PRE-CHORUS

Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)

Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)

Talk about a new world

Just not today

CHORUS

Hey there, why you look so sad?

What made you so mad that you can't

You can't get over it

Hey there, why you look so hurt?

You get what you deserve, you know, here we go

Why don't you cry about it?

VERSE2

Life's a bitch, and so am I

If you want it bad enough, there's lots of easy ways to die

PRE-CHORUS

Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)

Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)

Talk about a new world

Just not today

CHORUS

Hey there, why you look so sad?

What made you so mad that you can't

You can't get over it

Hey there, why you look so hurt?

You get what you deserve, you know, here we go

Why don't you cry about it?

PRE-CHORUS

Talk about a new wave (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)

Talk about a way to save the day (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh!)

Talk about a new world

Just not today

CHORUS

Hey there, why you look so sad?

What made you so mad that you can't

You can't get over it

Hey there, why you look so hurt?

You get what you deserve, you know, here we go

ENDING

Why don't you, why can't you

So tough when no-one knows you

No homies, so lonely

Why don't you cry about it now?
