Stumbled upon this while play Goo Goo Doll's one day, you can keep your finger on the Cadd9's "9" making the Em a Dsus2 if you wan't. I bounce between Power Chords and Open in Verses. The Chorus is better in Open Chords.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
Em D Em D
 
[Verse]
Em    D             Em        D        Em
  Something has to change, Undeniable dilemma
          D             Em            D
Boredom's not a burden, Anyone should bear
Em     D       Em     D               Em
   Constant over stimulation numbs me
    D                    Em        D
But I would not want you any other way
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
Em
It's not enough
Em
I need more
Em
Nothing seems to satisfy
Em
I said
Em
I don't want it
Em
I just need it
Em                               D
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
 
[Chorus]
Cadd9  G               Em    D
Finger deep within the borderline
Cadd9            G                Em          D
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Cadd9 G      Em         D        Cadd9 G Em D
Relax, turn around and take my hand
 
[Instrumental]
Em D Em D
 
[Verse 2]
Em  D            Em           D             Em
  I can help you change, Tired moments into pleasure
        D                 Em              D
Say the word and we'll be, Well upon our way
Em      D          Em         D               Em
  Blend and balance, Pain and comfort deep within you
         D                 Em        D
Till you would not want me any other way
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
Em
It's not enough
Em
I need more
Em
Nothing seems to satisfy
Em
I said
Em
I don't want it
Em
I just need it
Em                               D
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
 
[Chorus]
Cadd9   G               Em        D
Knuckle deep inside the borderline
Cadd9           G                 Em                   D
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to
Cadd9  G    Em    D
Relax. Slip away
 
[Bridge]
Cadd9           G
Something kinda sad about
    Em                   D
The way that things have come to be
Cadd9          G
Desensitized to everything
Em             D
What became of subtlety?
Cadd9             G           Em  D
How can this mean anything to me
     Cadd9        G      Em       D
If I really don't feel a thing at all?
   Em   D    Em   D
So I'll keep digging
    Em  D   Em    D
Till I feel something
 
[Coda]
Cadd9 G               Em    D
Elbow deep inside the borderline
Cadd9            G                Em         D
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Cadd9    G               Em    D
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Cadd9 G       Em        D       Cadd9 G Em D
Relax.  Turn around and take my hand

In the chorus, I think E-C-D then quickly play F-F# sounds more accurate (listen to the song for timing), easiest playing the powerchords on the E string I think.
