I swear to you people, this is one of the easiest songs you'll ever play, please understand. I warn you, dont try too hard, its too simple. If you try too much,
I swear to you, it'll make you nose bleed. Its simple power chords over and over, with minor modifications in chorus.Just let your hands flow to it, its very easy, very beginner. Good luck, you wont need it.

I personally think this sounds right if you just let off the notes a little bit instead of palm muting, kinda just let off pressure on the chord.

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
F*ck*d up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense dulled
Passed the point of delerium

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
F*ck*d up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go
