So i tried to write down the chords for this song since nobody did yet.
I dunno if these are correct since it's my first time so plz dont be harsh.
I played it together with the actual song and sung together and it sounds cool to me. I
it sounds ok to you too.
Tuning: Half step down (But the Staind fans already know that).
Chords used: Em , D , Cadd9 , A#5.
The following shows how these chords are played in a half step down tuned guitar.
Em: 022000
D: 000232
Cadd9: 032030 (you usually play this one like 032033 but for this song remove the pinky
the 1st string)
A#5: 799800
Then you attach them with the lyrics...
Em D
I’m one step from a breakdown
Cadd9
Two steps from being saved
Em
Just try to see this through
Em D
Three steps from this nightmare
Cadd9
And four steps from the door
Em Cadd9
The rest is up to you
A#5 Em D Cadd9
Pardon me while I just turn my back and walk away
A#5 Em D Cadd9
Pardon me if I can’t listen to the things you say
A#5 Em D Cadd9
Pardon me if I can’t fake it while you still believe
