I would say the picking requires you to play barre chords, since you need to get as high as possible with the first string (the thinnest): Verse picking:
|-------5--------3------------------------|
|----------6--------5-----5---------------|
|-------------7--------5------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|----5------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-------5--------3----------3--5--6--3--5-|
|----------6--------5-----5---------------|
|-------------7--------5------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-------5--------3------------------------|
|----------6--------5-----5---------------|
|-------------7--------5------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|----5------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|--5--------3-----------------------------|
|-----6--------5-----5--------------------|
|--------7--------5-----------------------|
|------------------------------3--------2-|
|---------------------------3--------2----|
|------------------------1--------0-------|
As far as I know there's a different picking for the bridge involving the fourth string aswell, but I simply don't know how to write it, sorry! Clean guitar during the verses, I use a distorted soundeffect when playing the chorus, sounds better than an overdrive. PM = Palm-Mute I'm pretty sure it's correct, you could ofcourse switch the powerchords in the verse out for some "full" chords, but I prefer the power chords. Dm C Dm C Dm C F E Dm C I'm not supposed to be scared of anything Dm C But I don't know where I am Dm C I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted F5 E5 And nobody understands Dm C I'm tryin' hard to breathe now Dm C but there's no air in my lungs Dm C There's no one here to talk to F5 E5 And the pain inside is making me numb Dm Dm I try to hold this, under control Dm Dm They can't help me, 'cause no one knows D5 C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 Now I'm going through changes, changes C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 God I feel so frustrated lately~~ C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 When I get suff-o-cated save me C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 Now I'm going through changes, changes Dm C I'm feelin' weak and weary walkin' Dm C through this world alone Dm C Everything I say, every word of it, F5 E5 cuts me to the bone Dm C I've got something to say but Dm C now I got nowhere to turn Dm C It feels like I've been buried underneath F5 E5 all the weight of the world Dm Dm I try to hold this, under control Dm Dm They can't help me, 'cause no one knows C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 Now I'm going through changes, changes C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 God I feel so frustrated lately~~ C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 When I get suff-o-cated save me C5 D5 A5 Bb5 A5 C5 A5 C5 D5 Now I'm going through changes, changes Dm C Dm C C5 D5 I'm blind and shaking, Bound and breaking C5 D5 D5 I hope I make it through all these changes
