G=320030 C(C9?)=x32030 D=xx0232 A=x02220 E=022100
The main driving riff is just G-D-C-G, each (I guess) one measure:
GGGGG,DDDDD,CCCCCC,GGGGGG
The 3 notes in the verses are the 5,4,3 strings held in a G chord:
G|-------0-
D|----0----
A|-2-------
E|---------
(play twice each line of the verses)
The bridge is just the same riff, changing keys, so it becomes:
AAAAA,EEEEE,DDDDD,AAAAA
This song is really very simple, and only uses G, C, D, and Em. However,
they use a cheating C (C9?) and put the 3rd finger on the 2nd string, not
the first, for the G.
G = 320030 C=032030 D=000232 Em=022000
Actually, it sounds fine if you leave the same third finger planted for
the Em, so it's 022030...this way, the 3rd finger stays planted the whole
song.

Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
G D C D(+pick str. 1)
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
G C D GThere's a little girl who's crying over here.
Note that lines 2 and 4 are different from 1 & 3, which are the same.
Each verse is the same.
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
(repeat this pattern for all three pre-chorus lines)
G C D
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G C DHow do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Bridge:

Use the same G as above(G9?)

F#m=244222
I should've known there'd be danger when I saw your face in the crowd
D G D A DNow I'm trying to work past my anger, I should know better by now
(Repeat this pattern for next two lines of verse)
(All verses have this same chord pattern)
Chorus
I've known your sorrow, but everybody's tasted pain
G A DI've known your sorrow, since God made the rain
G A D BmI see tomorrow when everybody tries again
I see tomorrow when God makes the rain God makes the rain
Bridge:
G DI used to hold my fury, keep it bottled tight
A Dwrestle with the consequences each and every night
But if I put my faith in someone who was only trying to bring me down
G D AI wouldn't stand where I am standing now
The fade out at the end is just DGDGDGDGDG.....
Simple! Three chords:

The main RIFF used throughout the song is:
Eb Eb C# C# C# C# Eb Eb C# C# C# EbThe timing is difficult to show on this, but if you listen to the intro
you can figure it out. Basically play a few D#'s, then C#'s, then almost
repeat the pattern but quickly come back for a D# instead of the last C#.
The little filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret (just mash down your third
finger which should be on the 8th fret from playing the D# anyway).
