Staind - "The Way I Am"
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Dsus2               C                   F
       I'm not very good at just paying attention
Dsus2                       C                           F
       I'm not very good at remembering things that you say
Dsus2               C                F
       I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
Dsus2                       C                          F  A7
       I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dsus2           C     F          A7    Dsus2
       It's the way I am, you'll never change
        C     F      A7   Dsus2
    The way I am, or re arrange
        C     F        A7     Dsus2
    The way I am, just let me be
        C     F            A7    Dsus2
    The way I am, it's the way I am
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dsus2                 C                   F
       I'm not really sure of the coming attractions
Dsus2                             C                        F
       I'm not really sure of the illusions we read on the wall
Dsus2                 C                        F
       I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice
Dsus2                            C                   F  A7
       I'm not really sure if we notice it before we fall
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dsus2           C     F          A7    Dsus2
       It's the way I am, you'll never change
        C     F      A7   Dsus2
    The way I am, or re arrange
        C     F        A7     Dsus2
    The way I am, just let me be
        C     F            A7    Dsus2
    The way I am, it's the way I am
 
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play
 
When I'm trying so hard just to beat you
I'm not really good at controlling my fate
I'm not really good at controlling my anger
I'm not really good at subduing my hate
I'm not really good (x3)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dsus2           C     F          A7    Dsus2
       It's the way I am, you'll never change
        C     F      A7   Dsus2
    The way I am, or re arrange
        C     F        A7     Dsus2
    The way I am, just let me be
        C     F            A7    Dsus2
    The way I am, it's the way I am

Half-step down.

I'm not great at tabbing, but I think the song is Am C and Em for verse. Am C Em and G for chorus. Just a suggestion though.

mlukeroberts222 you have it right, but play the C chord as a Cadd9 chord. in case someone that reads this doesnt know what that is, Cadd9 looks like this ---3----- ---3----- ---0----- ---2----- ---3----- ---x-----
