This was played by Butch Walker on his most recent (winter 09-10) tour, in
combination with I'm a Believer and a few other songs. I watched his hands
and wrote down the chords as I saw them. It was acoustic, so it's very
different from the studio version from '97.

Note: He plays this chord in the chorus, I'm not sure if it's a C or a G or
what, but it's close to a G7 and close to a G/C. Not sure what's up. I've
noted it thusly.
G*= 320010

That I had up on my shoulders trying to be so great
F5 C5 G5
Now I feel so insecure and I'm not so really sure that I should

So here's the hundred-thousand dollars and the seventy cents

Trying to make this all work, you know I feel like a jerk but it's good
