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

B | G

---|---|--
---|---|--
-4-|-4-|--
-4-|-5-|--
-2-|-5-|--

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]I keep breaking all the pr[G]omises

That[B] I keep making to myse[G]lf

[B]You'd think by now i'd be o[G]ver this

[B]Instead i'm feeling sorry for mys[G]elf


[B]So why does everything seem desp[G]erate now

[B]I should be feeling so aliv[G]e

[B]But it feels like somethings missing

Something's[G] wrong somehow

[B]It feels like something

G (PALM MUTE)
Deep inside has died

[G]So why do I feel desper[B]ate now

[G]Why do I fee[B]l like dying

[G]Why do I feel de[B]sperate now

[G]Why do I feel desperate now


[B]I keep breaking all the prom[G]ises

That [B]I keep making to myse[G]lf

But the pro[B]mises mean nothing to me any[G]more

C[B]ircling the drain

G (PALM MUTE)
Spiraling to hell

[G]So why do I feel desperat[B]e now

[G]Why do I fee[B]l like dying

[G]Why do i feel des[B]perate now

[G]Why do i feel desperate now
