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
 
Pre Chours:
G                D                   C
And I wished for things that I don't need
(All I wanted)
G          D                   C
And what I chased won't set me free
(All I wanted)
G         D                  C
And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees
 
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
G            D          C
Everything's all wrong, yeah
G            D          C
Everything's all wrong, yeah
Em             B             D
Where the hell did I think I was? (Play end of chours riff here)
 
[Verse 2]Repeat Intro for verse:
Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt
 
[Chorus]
G            D                 C
It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
G             D                 C
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
G         D                 C
You can't see when all your dreams are coming true
 
Oh yeah
G         D         C
it's easy to forget yeah
G         D              C
You choke on the regrets yeah
Em      B                  D
Who the hell did I think I was (end of chours riff)
 
[Verse] (repeat intro)
Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong
 
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
 
end on G
