Chords

Wow, a hit from Goo Goo dolls in standard tuning?! And GCD too? Chris got the idea but a few of his chords were off so I changed them. Bridge seems good though. I play Dsus4 using my thumb and like this
e--3--
B--3--
G--0--
D--0--
A--0--
E--2--
You can also mess with some of the other chords, like the C you can play 032000 during the verse or the intro. Capo 3 (all chords relative to capo position) Intro: Em G C x2 Verse:
     Em                G                C
When you came back I knew you'd have a story

     Em      G                C
You need someone to ease the pain of living life

Em              G             C
You're like a soldier in the fray seeking shelter

Em            G            C
From all the madness that you've seen, raining down now 
Chorus:
C   D           G
I know things change, your world has slipped away

C   D           Em
I know things change, you're living like a 

C        D              G
Soldier caught in the fray

       Dsus4      Em
Don't lose your faith

             C          D        Em
It's not so cold, it's not too late
Em G C x2 Verse:
     Em                       G          C         
When you were naive you were so invincible

                   Em                        G               C
And you laughed at anyone and anything that ever got in your way

Em           G                 C    
But now the mirror shows the change, and you don't see that

Em             G              C
You're sinking back into the crowd, an echo faded
Chorus Bridge:
F#m                       D
And I never thought I'd see

                     Bm
You living on your knees

                   Abdim
A slave to some disease
That holds you captive
F#m                         D
And you can look inside of me

                          Bm
But the answers that you seek

                    Abdim
And everything you need
Is all inside you Interlude: Em G C x4 Chorus
