Those are the chords and how to do them here is the progression

Intro 1x

Verse 1
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out

Pre Chours:
G+G        D MajorD          C majorC
And I wished for things that I don't need
(All I wanted)
G+G     D MajorD          C majorC
And what I chased won't set me free
(All I wanted)
G+G     D MajorD         C majorC
And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees

Chours:
Oh, yeah
G+G      D MajorD     C majorC
Everything's all wrong, yeah
G+G      D MajorD     C majorC
Everything's all wrong, yeah
E minorEm       BB       D MajorD
Where the hell did I think I was? (Play end of chours riff here)


Repeat Intro for verse:
Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt


Chours:
G+G      D MajorD         C majorC
It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
G+G       D MajorD         C majorC
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
G+G     D MajorD         C majorC
You can't see when all your dreams are coming true


Oh yeah
G+G     D MajorD     C majorC
it's easy to forget yeah
G+G     D MajorD       C majorC
You choke on the regrets yeah
E minorEm   BB         D MajorD
Who the hell did I think I was (end of chours riff)


Verse (repeat intro)
Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong


E minorEm      D MajorD
And I wasn't all the things
C majorC        G+G
I tried to make believe I was
E minorEm       D MajorD
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
C majorC         G+G
Before the dreams I wanted
E minorEm          C majorC
And all the talk and all the lies
BB                   D MajorD
Were all the empty things disguised as me (play end chours riff)

(Repeat Intro)
Mmm, yeah
Stranger than your sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy
Mmm hmmm mmm

end on G+G


THE END!
