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.

Am x02200

[Verse 1]
Em
The first words that come out,
G
And I can see this song will be about you,
D
I can't believe that I can breathe without you,
Am
But all I need to do is carry on,
Em
The next line I write down,
G
And there's a tear that falls between the pages,
D
I know that pain's supposed to heal in stages,
Am
But it depends which one it's standing on,
[Pre-chorus]
Em G
I write lines down, then rip them up,
Am C
Describing love can't be this tough..
[Chorus]
G D
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke,
Em7 Cadd9
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly,
G D
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon,
Em7 Cadd9
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you....
[Verse 2]
E G
I'm dying to show you, This could end happily ever after,
D
There doesn't ever have to be disaster,
Am
And all you have to do is sing along,
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G
I write lines down, then rip them up,
Am C
Impossible describing love....
[Chorus]
G D
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke,
Em7 Cadd9
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly,
G D
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon,
Em7 Cadd9
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you...
G D
I could set this song on fire, unless sing this song to you
Em7 Cadd9
I could set this song on fire...
[Bridge]
G Dsus4
Light this old guitar on fire, I'd still hear the notes,
Em7 Cadd9
Drown the melody in water, I'd still hear its ghost
G Dsus4
Sing it with somebody else, but we'd be out of tune,
Em7 Cadd9
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much...
[Chorus]
G D
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke,
Em7 Cadd9
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly,
G D
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon,
Em7 Cadd9
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you,
[Outro]
G D
I could set this song on fire, Unless I sing this song to you,
Em7 Cadd9
I could set this (I could set this), I wanna sing this song to you
G D
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
Em7 Cadd9
I could set this, I could set this..
