Verse:
 You can play power chords or regular chords I think they use the power chords for the verse.

 E5           B5            G5
 She fills my bed with gasoline
 D5                C5
 You think I would've noticed
 E5         B5                   G5
 Her mind's made up The love is gone
         D5                          C5                  
 I think someone's trying to show us a sign
 E5        B5                    G5
 That even if we thought it would last
 D5               C5
 The moment would pass
 E5                 B5                     G5
 My bones will break and my heart would give
 D5               C5
 Oh, it hurts to live

Chorus:
 E5                 G5                     D5
 And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
                C5                                D5
 You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
 E5                 G5                     D5
 And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
 C5                       D5
 And I remember the day you told me it's over
 
Em chord (down,down,up)... H* 12th fret e..b.  H* 
7th fret g..gG chord (down,down,up) G chord (down,up)
but when you do the upstroke move your finger on the
low e string to the second fret which gives it that 
slight change you here... H* 5th fret a,d,g strings all together. 

Verse:
 E5                 B5          G5      
 It hurts to breathe, Well every time  
 D5                    C5
 that you're not next to me
 E5              B5                  G5
 Her mind's made up, The girl is gone
 D5                 C5
 And now I'm forced to see
 E5        B5         G5
 I think I'm on my way
 D5                     C5
 Oh, it hurts to live today
 E5         B5         G5
 Oh and she says "Don't you wish
 D5                C5
 you were dead like me?"
 
 Chorus:
 E5                 G5                          D5
 And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
                C5                          E5
 You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
 E5                 G5                       D5
 I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
                  C5
 And I remember the day you told me it's over

                   G5                            D5
 And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
                 C5

Well thats it just get the strumming figured out and enjoy.
That harmonic part after the first chorus I couldn't really
figure out by ear but it works for me I'm sure it's not 
totally correct but the rest of the song should be fairly
close.  Enjoy.
