   Guitar -- all strums are based around
             the D chord, you can slide
             around it

The rest is just the main riff

A thorn in my side
and you live just to pull me down
rusted nail I stepped on this infection
A thorn in my side
You're full
I think so 
of Anger
You need to sit down
and stay down
these things you want but don't get
Is that fair?
I don't think so
A sure thing that you can count on 
a big depression

Your praise is two faced 
and you're cut down my friend
