Here are the chords for the chorus: "..and everything 
i can't remember..."for acoustic

"x" denotes an unplayed, or dead, string

    Bb-1     Bb-1     Bb-0     Bb-3
    Gb-2     Gb-0     Gb-0     Gb-2

to the song...


The chords and rhythm for the bridge ("..why must i feel 
this way...") are the same as the chorus.
