Nickelback, How You Remind Me.
Tabbed by Greg, MigraneMan7@excite.com.
'How You Remind Me' by Nickelback
This is their newest song. I haven't seen any other guitar tabs for it on any sites,
so i just decided to try to tab this one by ear. It uses drop-d tuning.

END OF CHORUS
VERSE 2
the guitar at the beginning of this verse is barely audible.
you could get by without having a guitar part for the beginning part, or if you want to,
just play it the same way as verse 1, but much much softer. anyway, here's the lyrics for
verse 2...
it's not like you didn't know that
i said i love you and i swear i still do
and it must have been so bad
cuz living with me must have damn near killed you
