Those are the chords and how to do them here is the progression
Intro 1x
Verse 1
Stranger than your sympathy
And this is my apology
I killed myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/goo_goo_dolls/sympathy_tab_ver_4.html ]

Em B D
Where the hell did I think I was? (Play end of chours riff here)

Em D
And I wasn't all the things
C G
I tried to make believe I was
Em D
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
C G
Before the dreams I wanted
Em C
And all the talk and all the lies
B D
Were all the empty things disguised as me (play end chours riff)
(Repeat Intro)
Mmm, yeah
Stranger than your sympathy
Stranger than your sympathy
Mmm hmmm mmm
