Verse One
For this part of the verse play the above pattern beneath these words.
You bored me with your stories, I can't believe that I endured you for
as long as I did
I'm happy it's over, I'm only sorry that I didn't make a move before
you
Now there is another pattern for you to play under the next part of the
verse.

And when you go I must remember to send a thank you note to that
girl
I see she's holding you so tender, well I just wanna say
The electric guitar joins on this part of the verse, playing the
following little riff after "remember" and "tender". Use a little bit
of distortion.

Verse Two
Repeat the same arpeggios and chords beneath these lyrics
Valentino, I don't think so, you're watching MTV while I lie dreaming
in an empty bed

Before you go I must remember to send a thank you note to that girl
Does she know you're not a spender? Well I just wanna say

Again the acoustic guitar and electric guitar play the chords together.

Just play a D5 chord on the acoustic in a similar manner to "Someday" -
