Em (022000@1)         Bm (x24432@1)          G (320003@1)She fills my bed with gasoline
 D (xx0232@1)              C (x32010@1)You think I would've noticed
 Em (022000@1)       Bm (x24432@1)                 G (320003@1)Her mind's made up The love is gone

 I think someone's trying to show us a sign
 Em (022000@1)      Bm (x24432@1)                  G (320003@1)That even if we thought it would last
 D (xx0232@1)             C (x32010@1)The moment would pass
 Em (022000@1)               Bm (x24432@1)                   G (320003@1)My bones will break and my heart would give
 D (xx0232@1)             C (x32010@1)Oh, it hurts to live

Chorus:
 Em (022000@1)               G (320003@1)                   D (xx0232@1)And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
                Csus2 (x35533@1)                              D (xx0232@1)You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
 Em (022000@1)               G (320003@1)                   D (xx0232@1)And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
 Csus2 (x35533@1)                     D (xx0232@1)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.

 D (xx0232@1)                  C (x32010@1)that you're not next to me
 Em (022000@1)            Bm (x24432@1)                G (320003@1)Her mind's made up, The girl is gone
 D (xx0232@1)               C (x32010@1)And now I'm forced to see
 Em (022000@1)      Bm (x24432@1)       G (320003@1)I think I'm on my way
 D (xx0232@1)                   C (x32010@1)Oh, it hurts to live today
 Em (022000@1)       Bm (x24432@1)       G (320003@1)Oh and she says "Don't you wish

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.
