Those are the chords and how to do them here is the progression

Intro 1x

Verse 1
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out


Pre Chours:
G        D          C
And I wished for things that I don't need
(All I wanted)
G     D          C
And what I chased won't set me free
(All I wanted)
G     D         C
And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees

Chours:
Oh, yeah
G      D     C
Everything's all wrong, yeah
G      D     C
Everything's all wrong, yeah
Em       B       D
Where the hell did I think I was? (Play end of chours riff here)



Repeat Intro for verse:
Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt


Chours:
G      D         C
It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
G       D         C
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
G     D         C
You can't see when all your dreams are coming true


Oh yeah
G     D     C
it's easy to forget yeah
G     D       C
You choke on the regrets yeah
Em   B         D
Who the hell did I think I was (end of chours riff)


Verse (repeat intro)
Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong


Em      D
And I wasn't all the things
C        G
I tried to make believe I was
Em       D
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
C         G
Before the dreams I wanted
Em          C
And all the talk and all the lies
B                   D
Were all the empty things disguised as me (play end chours riff)

(Repeat Intro)
Mmm, yeah
Stranger than your sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy
Mmm hmmm mmm

end on G



THE END!
