this song is in Standard tuning
most of the chords are power chords and
all the E chords are 7th fret A string
but there is one other chord:

Ebm6
e---
B---
G---
D-9-
A-6-
E---

the basic rhythm of the first main riff is
E / / B D G# B /
(listen to it for the exact rhythm)

1st Verse:
E                 B    D    G# B
     I'm thinking over it	 I think too much
E                  B     D  G# B
     It hinders my spirit 	 when there's never enough
E               B          D    G# B
     Shell-game sleight of hand	     To wish for something more

Pre-Chorus (1st):
E           Ebm6               B
     Honest husbands, cheating wives
B             C#             F#
     Generous buyers, greedy stores

Chorus:
F#
    "I'll get through it, I'll get through it"
A                G#        C#
     I'll say it ten times over:
F#
    "I'll get through it, I'll get through it"
A
    "I'm better than this"

Then repeat "I'm better than this" with the main verse riff until:

2nd Verse:
E                B       D   G#  B                   E
     That's what anchors me     (I mean it weighs me down)
E               B         D    G#  B               E
     Can't give thanks to fear     can't say no to crowds
E               B         D    G#  B                E
     Guess I'll just play dumb    (shouldn't be too hard : )

Pre-Chorus (2nd):
E             Ebm6            B
     Peaceful people, violent guns
E          Ebm6             B
     Sober drivers, drunken cars

Chorus again

Then repeat "I'm better than this" with the main verse riff until:

E/////// Ebm6/////// E/////// C#/////// G#/////// A///////
I'm better than nothing...

First time the only words are "i'm better than nothing"
then repeat with all the words 2 times

E                    Ebm6                   E
     I'm better than nothing and nothing is better
E                    C#                     G#
     I'm better than nothing and nothing is better
G#        A
     Than this

then play one more time but end with

G#        A          B          E
     Than this  Than this  Than this....
