[Em] Thorn in my [C]side
[G] You're always [D]there
[Em] Just to re[C]mind me
[G] That I still [D]care
Verse 2: start strumming; if you're playing the song with 2 guitars,
one of them continues playing the intro.
[Em] Thorn in my [C]side
You won't[G] let me [D]go
[Em] Right there be[C]side me
[G] To let me [D]know
Bridge 1: Hit C and G chords twice; strum D chords.
I've been[C] pushed around
[G] Been knocked down
[D] Lost a round or three
Life[C] took a couple of
[G]Things I loved when I was
[D] Too blind to see
Chorus 1: One guitar strums the chords,
to see what the other one does,
have a look at the tab version;
() means hit the chord and then mute right away.

Verse 3: Like verse 2, or play only the intro with light distortion.

[Em] Once in a while when I [C]crack a smile
[G] You rub my [D]face in it
Verse 4: Only strum the chords, stop playing the intro.
