INTRO: He starts playing a G5 chord with what sounds like a wah and he's using a "killswitch", which is usually done by using a Gibson styled guitar (LP, SG, whatever) and turning off one pickup and using the pup selector to make the choppy sound you hear.
Main progression: A5C5 Gii5 E5
VERSE 1: A5C5 Gii5 Why don't you condone it E5A5 Why don't you set me free C5 Gii5 I don't think you own it E5A5 Cause it belongs to me C5 Gii5 E5 And if I ever want to take it back A5C5 Gii5 You try to lie and hide it E5A5 Look who laughing last
C5 Gii5 E5 Everyone around me thinks they know A5C5 Gii5 They try to see it E5A5 But I don't let it show C5 Stay out of my business Gii5 E5 Keep your hands off my door A5C5 Gii5 I've got a bed E5D5 I'd rather sleep on the floor E5 Screaming in my head F5G5 I don't like it anymore
CHORUS: E5A5G5 No place to go F5G5 Whoa-ohhhhoh E5A5G5 Leave me alone F5G5 Whoa-ohhhhoh C5 I don't want to know
VERSE 2: (SAME AS VERSE 1) Nobody ever seems to understand Every day I wake up And do the best that I can I've got my problems You've got yours too You try to label me Have you ever looked at you Nobody's perfect I really think you do And if you are why am I standing next to you
CHORUS
VERSE 3: I spin my wheels and try to figure it out What's going on And what's it all about Where did I go wrong I think I'm having my doubts About what you said And what you're going to do I'm so pissed off I blame it on you I've done it all There's nothing left for me to do What's going on Piss on you
