Capo: 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
One of the two new songs posted by Nickelback for their new album Feed The Machine.
They change the way they play the e string in the D chord throughout the song,
most notably in the breakdown/bridge, where there D is played as a Dsus4, however there is a
single strum guitar playing it as a normal D.
In the verses you can leave the e string open on the D & G and in the pre-chorus the G & Cadd9,
which matches the piano better. Have a play through, see which way you prefer to play it.

[Verse 1]
The fEmirst words that come out,
And I can seGe this song will be about you,
I can't beliDeve that I can breathe without you,
But all I Amneed to do is carry on,
The nEmext line I write down,
And there's a Gtear that falls between the pages,
I know that paiDn's supposed to heal in stages,
But it dAmepends which one it's standing on,
[Pre-chorus]
EmI write lines down, then Grip them up,
DescrAmibing love can'Ct be this tough..
[Chorus]
GI could set this song on fire, Dsend it up in smoke,
Em7I could throw it in the river and watCadd9ch it sink in slowly,
GTie the pages to a plane and Dsend it to the moon,
Em7Play it for the world, but it won't Cadd9mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you....
[Verse 2]
EI'm dying to show you, This cGould end happily ever after,
There doesn't eDver have to be disaster,
And all you hAmave to do is sing along,
[Pre-Chorus 2]
EmI write lines down, then Grip them up,
ImAmpossible descriCbing love....
[Chorus]
GI could set this song on fire, Dsend it up in smoke,
Em7I could throw it in the river and watCadd9ch it sink in slowly,
GTie the pages to a plane and Dsend it to the moon,
Em7Play it for the world, but it won't Cadd9mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you...
GI could set this song on fire, uDnless sing this song to you
Em7I could set this song on fire..Cadd9.
[Bridge]
GLight this old guitar on fire, Dsus4I'd still hear the notes,
Em7Drown the melody in water, I'dCadd9 still hear its ghost
GSing it with somebody else, but Dsus4we'd be out of tune,
Em7Play it for the world, but it woCadd9n't mean much...
[Chorus]
GI could set this song on fire, Dsend it up in smoke,
Em7I could throw it in the river and watCadd9ch it sink in slowly,
GTie the pages to a plane and Dsend it to the moon,
Em7Play it for the world, but it won't Cadd9mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you,
[Outro]
GI could set this song on fire, DUnless I sing this song to you,
Em7I could set this (I could set this), I wanna sing Cadd9this song to you
GI could set this song on fire,D sing this song to you
Em7I could set this, I could set this.Cadd9.
