Outside Acoustic Chords

Comment by drumberboy1122, the original author:
This is my first tab. Hopefully it works for everyone. Most versions I saw had people tune down half a step.
If you don't want to do that, this tab is perfect. Just four chords through out the whole song. I like to
play all of the chords barred and playing Eb on the 6th fret and then go down to Db and F# and then back up
to Ab. That's how Aaron Lewis plays it in the acoustic version video.

My correction is based on this version from Aaron Lewis and Fred Durst, I hope drumberboys is also.

The power chords are played like this if you "transpose" the strumming to simple downstrokes:
 
          Eb                Db                Gb                Ab
e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
G|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
A|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-6-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
 
So that basically means just before you change from Eb to Db and from Gb to Ab do a downstroke of Db/Ab in
the beat of Eb/Gb. I am bad at writing out strummings otherwise I would've done that.
 
Aaron plays it with his guitar tuned down half a step and then plays the chorus with open chords. We can't
do that in standard tuning and therefor I play the chorus with full barrée chords.

    Eb5       Db5            Gb5     Ab5
And you, can bring me to my knees, again.
         Eb5       Db5               Gb5       Ab5
All this time, that I could beg you please, in vain.
        Eb5        Db5         Gb5       Ab5
All the times, that I felt insecure, for you.

And I leave my burdens at the door.
 
[Chorus]
               Eb                   Gb
But I'm on the outside, I'm looking in.
            Db                       Ab
I can see through you, see your true colors.
                     Eb                     Gb
'Cause inside you're ugly. You're ugly like me.

      Eb5        Db5            Gb5             Ab5
And I taste, what I could never have. It's from you.
        Eb5               Db5         Gb5               Ab5
All the times! That I've cried! My intentions. Full of pride!

But I waste, more time than anyone.

      Eb5            Db5              Gb5              Ab5
And I feel! All this pain! Stuffed it down! It's back again!
      Eb5          Db5       Gb5           Ab5
And I lie! Here in bed! All alone. I can't mend.
      Eb5     Db5              Gb5  Ab5\
But I feel, tomorrow will be O.K.
