Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York, USA by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac initially under the name the Sex Maggots (the new name was chosen from an ad in True Detective magazine at the behest of a local club owner). They are most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals) and Robby Takac (vocals, bass).

=================================================== INFORMATION ===================================================
Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them if you're feeling adventurous.
If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is C -> G -> Am -> F in Eb tuning.
DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step)
EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain This is what I have on my Metal Zone:
Level: 9 o'clock Low: Max High: 10 Mid freq: Max Middle: 12 Dist: 11
=================================================== BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords B->F#->G#->E) and riffs for 4 measures ===================================================
CG so much more about you that you never let them see Am You turn away F But not to me
C I know how they tried to take you GAm Held you up and meant to break you down F But you can't be
C For so long I tried to reach you G I know I'm almost there AmF I'm close enough for you to see
=================================================== Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression. Basically: B5 = C, F#5 = G, G#5 = Am, E5 = F. This is where distorted power chords come in. ===================================================
B5 -> A#5 -> G#5
B5F#5 You've been hiding in the shadows G#5E5 Have you forgotten how we used to dream B5 Let me remind you F#5G#5 The light doesn't blind you at all E5 It just helps you see F#5 Can you see
B5F#5 Yeah you have become B5E5 Yeah you have become beautiful
B5 And I can't be the stranger F#5 That's been sleeping in your bed just G#5E5 Turn around and come to me B5 I feel all the pain inside F#5G#5 And everything you been denied you feel E5 It's all you feel
B5 -> A#5 -> G#5
B5F#5 You've been hiding in the shadows G#5E5 Have you forgotten how we used to dream B5 Let me remind you F#5G#5 The light doesn't blind you at all E5 It just helps you see F#5 Can you see
B5F#5 Yeah you have become B5E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5F#5 Yeah you have become B5E5 Yeah you have become beautiful
B5 Brush back your hair and look around you F#5G#5 Feeling like the truth has found you here E5 You're here with me B5F#5 Let love become the mirror F#5 E# With no fear where you're from
B5F#5 You have become G#5F#5E5 Yeah you have become beautiful
You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar. Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes). The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic.

As always, power chords are easier in drop D tuning.
