My acoustic version. Great band bringing back that 90's grunge rock sound.
 
[Intro]
 
F#m Ab A  B A  Ab
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
            F#m
Black ocean cold and dark
                Ab             A
I am the hungry shark fast and merciless
Bm
But the only girl that could talk to him 
A
just couldn’t swim
                     Ab
Tell me what’s worse than this
              F#m
And it echoes in the halls
                  Ab
They danced along the walls
                A
The memories of your ghost
Bm
You are the one that I used to love
A                                                 Ab
And I’m still in love but I’ve never love you the most
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
                 D
I’ve seen better days
   B              F#m
So unafraid in my youth
        D                 B
I can’t breathe much less believe
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
            F#m
You gave me everything you had
                   Ab
Every little thing you had
            A
A pure love unrehearsed 
               Bm
I’ve seen your best and worst
                         A
And at your worst you’re still the best
                    Ab
But at my best I am the worst
N.C.
It’s a curse
              F#m
Your eyes are lined in pain
                  Ab
Black tears don’t hide in rain
                     A
And I tied you to the tracks
       Bm                    A
When I turned around I heard the sound
                                          Ab
I hit the ground I know there’s no turning back
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                 D
I’ve seen better days
   B              F#m
So unafraid in my youth
        D                 B           F#m
I can’t breathe much less believe the truth
       D       B              F#m  Ab A
Better days so unafraid in my youth
        D                 B           F#m   Ab A
I can’t breathe much less believe the truth
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
            F#m
Black ocean cold and dark
                Ab             A
I am the hungry shark fast and merciless
Bm
But the only girl that could talk to him 
A
just couldn’t swim
                     Ab
Tell me what’s worse than this
                    F#m
What’s worse is all the coke
                 Ab                        A
The ice it numbs my throat if only for the night
                Bm
My muscles will contract your bones will crack
          A                             Ab
It’s just a fact cause I am here to win this fight
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
 N.C.           D                 B           F#m
I can’t fucking breathe much less believe the truth
            D               B       F#m
I pick up a gun aim for the sun and shoot
       D       B              F#m   Ab A
Better days so unafraid in my youth
        D          B           F#m   Ab A
I can’t breathe or believe the truth
 
 
[Solo]
(Note: this is my alternate version for acoustic not same as recording):
 
D B F#m D B F#m D B F#m Ab A D B F#m D B F#m Ab A B
 
 
[Outro]
 
N.C.                D
Your eyes are lined in pain
                  Bm
Black tears don’t hide in rain
                  A
And I tied you to the tracks
Ab                   G                  F#m
When I turned around I heard that sound

I've been trying to figure this one out for acoustic, and pretty much got what you have here. I still feel like something is missing, or off, I just can't put my finger on it. Some of the lyrics are different between versions, but either way, good job.

all the F# chords in this song are minor. also the chord you have labeled as Ab is an fm aug4. Best way to play it in this context is (going from the fret on the lowest to highest sting pitch wise) ... 42340x. so don't play the high e string. great job though. that second chord took me a while to find out.
