Hoobastank (sometimes stylized as "h8bastank") is an American (formed in 1994 in Agoura Hills, California) rock band best known for their crossover hit "The Reason" (2003) and by their continued success in the modern rock market.
Vocalist Doug Robb met with guitarist Dan Estrin in a high school battle of the bands competition and decided to form a band. They recruited Markku Lappalainen and Chris Hesse to form Hoobastank. In an interview with Yahoo's Launch, Doug Robb said the name had no particular meaning.

Hi, this is my first tab as I haven't found any chords for this song on the net. Took it from the acoustic version on the new CD Is This The Day (2010)
hope you enjoy, any questions, let me know.
The chords go pretty much the same until the last bridge to the last chorus (wich I'm not pretty sure of them):
CEb I write your name in my breath on the window
CEb Sit and watch as it fades away
FG#Bb The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
CEb The sky is gold and grey
CEb Just like it was when we both went our seperate ways
F And the rain won't wash away
G#Bb All the dirt of my mistakes
CEb So I write your name in my breath on the window
CEb Sit and watch as it fades away
FG#Bb The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
CEb Defening sound of rain
CEb It's not enough to drown my thoughts So ease the pain
F So instead I'll soak it in
G#Bb While I stare outside again
CEb So I write your name in my breath on the window
CEb Sit and watch as it fades away
FG#Bb The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
CEb I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
CEb I lost so much when you walked away
FG#Bb The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
LAST BRIDGE
FG# The sun just won't seem to come out
FG# Now that you've walked away
Bb Now I cannot escape
C# I cannot escape
C The rain
Eb The rain
CEb So I write your name in my breath on the window
CEb Sit and watch as it fades away
FG#Bb The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
CEb I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
CEb I lost so much when you walked away
FG#Bb The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
