This is the way that I play the bridge part to this song.
I think that it sounds better this way.

You Don't Know How it Feels - Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
=============================================================

E                   A                   E                   A  (x2)
Let me run with     you tonight    I'll take you on       a moonlight ride
There's someone   I used to see     but she don't    give a damn for me


Chorus (1):

              E           B             E            A       
    So let's  get  to the point   let's roll another joint
              E           B             E            A
    Turn the  radio       loud  I'm too alone to be  proud
    E         D           A
    You don't know how it feels
    E         D           A             E            A  
    You don't know how it feels...to be me


E                   A                   E                   A  (x2)
People come         people go           some grow young     some grow cold
I woke up           in between        a memory              and a dream


Chorus (2):

              E                B           E             A       
    So let's  get       to the point let's roll  another joint
              E                B           E             A
       let's  head on down the road to somewhere I gotta go
    E         D           A
    You don't know how it feels
    E         D           A
    You don't know how it feels
    E         D           A             E     A  
 No you don't know how it feels...to be me


E                   A                   E                       A  (x2)
My old man      was born to rock   but  he's still tryin'    to beat the clock
Think of me         what you will       I've still got a little space to fill


Chorus (2) x 2
