"I'll say 'I learned my lesson, I'll be a better man'"

Use the same exact progression above for:

"I'm packing up my things and
I'm wiping down the walls
I'm rinsing off my clothes and
I'm walking through the halls
I did it all for her
So I felt nothing at all
I don't know what she'll say
So I'll ask her when she calls"

(Alec strums the progression above in the second verse, so just use the same chords.)

Chorus:

For all the Choruses, Alec just strums the chords that are used in the verse progression. 

Verse 3: 

For the third verse ("You have to understand that the one I killed is me.") he just strums and palm mutes the 
same progression as the 1st verse.
