>>>>>>>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING TO PLAY<<<<<<<<<<<<
This is my interpretation of the song, if i confuse you or way off on something I apologize...
Capo on first fret/Standard E tuning/Strumming can be heard from song.
I will write out the chords accordingly and the numbers are what finger should be
hitting each note....
The capo is on the first fret of the guitar but if i say 1st fret i mean the one
after the capo of course, ha
C 1st fret Am 1st fret F#7 1st fret G(add 3rd finger) 2nd fret

F 1st fret

1|||11 <--your whole finger covers 1st fret.

G3(it is really just G but i put a 3 for reading sake) 3rd fret

1|||11 <--Your whole finger covers 3rd fret.

For G3 you will generally just slide your fingers in the same position from F to
the 3rd fret....making it G(3)
Dm 1st fret

Verse: C
Do you ever like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place?

With the radio on turned up so loud,
G
and no one hears you screaming.

When nothing feels alright

You don't know what its like to be like me...
Chorus: Am F#7 C G
To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark

While deep inside your bleeding
