This is a very simple song, it has a lot of keyboard effects 
     throughout the song, but the guitarwork is very well done.

THE SONG STARTS OUT ALL WEIRD AND FULL OF EFFECTS

  YOU WILL HEAR A BENDING AND PLAY THAT NOTE QUITE A FEW 
      TIMES THROUGHOUT THE SONG, THE FIRST ONE IS AT

THERE IS THREE MAIN DIFFERENT GUITAR PARTS THROUGHOUT THE
      SONG, THE CHORUS, THE BRIDGE AND THE SECOND VERSE.
      THE CHORUS IS JUST CHORDS SO I WON'T TAB THAT BUT I
      WILL SHOW YOU WHERE TO CHANGE.  THE CHORUS HAS ONE
      LITTLE NOTE I WILL TAB FOR YOU.  ALSO THE BRIDGE IS 
      CHORDS, WITH SOMETHING PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND THAT 
      I WILL TAB, AND THE SECOND VERSE I'LL TAB TOO.


 THE CHORUS IS A D-Bb-G-A THEN PLAY THIS...
                     
                     A SLOW BEND               )

                                         -----------

  Six o'clock in the morning

  My head is ready to explode

  I can't believe I made it home alive

  I don't remember where I went

  Or what I was drinking

  But I know its made me sick

  And i'm not denying

  That I get this way

  When I try to get over you

  I get this way

  When I try to get over you...


 D                  Bb
  Sometimes it hurts

                G                 A
  So much to lose the one you love

 D                  Bb
  Sometimes it hurts

                G                 A
  So much to lose the one you love



  I try so hard to hate you

  But it only makes things worse

  I only end up hating myself

  And as my hatred goes

  So do the lies 

  It's hard to face the truth sometimes

  God I feel so useless

  God I hate myself

  When I try to get over you

  I hate myself

  How will I ever get over you


 D                  Bb
  Sometimes it hurts

                G                 A
  So much to lose the one you love

 D                  Bb
  Sometimes it hurts

                G                 A
  So much to lose the one you love




  And after all this time

 
  You'd think I'd understand the way you feel


  but no

                           D   E   
  I only think about myself

 F        G               Bb
  And its driving you away

 A
  I always knew it would one day


 D                  Bb
  Sometimes it hurts

                G                 A
  So much to lose the one you love

 D                  Bb
  Sometimes it hurts

                G                 A
