Tune down a half step.
 
 
[Intro]
 
A   G   F#m   F E x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
A              G                F#m   F E
  I'm having trouble trying to sleep
A               G                F#m   F E
  I'm counting sheep but running out
A               G
  As time ticks by
F#m            F  E
   And still I try
A                G            F#m
  No rest for crosstops in my mind
F             E
On my own ... here we go
 
A   G   F#m   F E x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                G                F#m   F E
  My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
A               G             F#m   F E
  Dried up and bulging out my skull
A              G
  My mouth is dry
F#m           F    E
   My face is numb
A                G             F#m
  Fucked up and spun out in my room
F             E
On my own ... here we go
 
A   G   F#m   F E x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
A              G          F#m   F E
  My mind is set on overdrive
A               G             F#m   F E
  The clock is laughing in my face
A           G
  Crooked spine
F#m          F      E
   My senses dulled
A                  G        F#m
  Passed the point of delirium
F             E
On my own ... here we go
 
A   G   F#m   F E x2
 
 
[Verse 4]
A                G                F#m   F E
  My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
A               G             F#m   F E
  Dried up and bulging out my skull
A              G
  My mouth is dry
F#m           F    E
   My face is numb
A                G             F#m
  Fucked up and spun out in my room
F             E
On my own ... here we go
 
A   G   F#m   F E x6, A

Dude, its meant to be Drop-D, so everyone who think it sounds wrong, it's coz you haven't tuned down. RAWR

Yeah, I don't get all the hate either - this is pretty much right apart from the fact that they aren't power chords. Like Junk said, the only change I'd make to this is to change the F# to F#m (if you're planning on playing full chords). The rest is right (apart from the tuning) - the E is correct - there's no way in hell that it goes from the F to the Eb.
