Verse 1: Don't strum, just continue playing the intro.

Em (022000@1)          C (x32010@1) Thorn in my side
G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1) You're always there
Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1)
  Just to remind me
G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1) That I still care

Verse 2: start strumming; if you're playing the song with 2 guitars, 
one of them continues playing the intro.

Em (022000@1)          C (x32010@1) Thorn in my side
           G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1) You won't let me go

G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1) To let me know

Bridge 1: Hit C and G chords twice; strum D chords.

C (x32010@1) I've been pushed around
G (320003@1)  Been knocked down
D (xx0232@1) Lost a round or three
      C (x32010@1) Life took a couple of 
  G (320003@1) Things I loved when I was
D (xx0232@1) Too blind to see

Chorus 1: One guitar strums the chords, 
to see what the other one does, 
have a look at the tab version; 
() means hit the chord and then mute right away.

C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)  DBut (xx0232@1)I'll survive
       CI (x32010@1)gave up on luck
    G (320003@1)               DBut (xx0232@1)I'm still getting by

Em (022000@1)                     C (x32010@1) Once in a while when I crack a smile
G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1) You rub my face in it

Verse 4: Only strum the chords, stop playing the intro.

Em (022000@1)          C (x32010@1) Thorn in my side
           G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1) You won't let me run
Em (022000@1)            C (x32010@1) God bless the fights
