This is one of my favorites next to sometimes it hurts.
   A beautiful song using basic powerchords.

Standard tuning

E
A
D
G
B
e

  To the best of my knowledge in tabbing this song
there are only two chords.
  

  B | G
 ---|---|--
 ---|---|--
 -4-|-4-|--
 -4-|-5-|--
 -2-|-5-|--
 ---|-3-|--


intro...  is something like that, keep repeating the B 
          and the G and playing the notes of those 
          particular chords. It's also played before
          the break and inbetween verses.

  B                         G
  I keep breaking all the promises

      B                     G
  That I keep making to myself

  B                          G
  You'd think by now i'd be over this
  
  B                                G 
  Instead i'm feeling sorry for myself



  B                               G
  So why does everything seem desperate now

  B                          G 
  I should be feeling so alive

  B                               
  But it feels like somethings missing

             G          
  Something's wrong somehow


  B                  
  It feels like something


                    G (PALM MUTE)
  Deep inside has died


  G                      B         
  So why do I feel desperate now

  G           B    
  Why do I feel like dying

  G               B  
  Why do I feel desperate now

  G   
  Why do I feel desperate now



  B                           G  
  I keep breaking all the promises

       B                    G 
  That I keep making to myself

             B                           G 
  But the promises mean nothing to me anymore

   B               
  Circling the drain


   G (PALM MUTE)
  Spiraling to hell


  G                        B
  So why do I feel desperate now

  G           B 
  Why do I feel like dying

  G                B  
  Why do i feel desperate now

  G                  
  Why do i feel desperate now
