Here comes some more Linkin Park.. this song is really awesome, and pretty simple.  You 
just need to get the rhythm right.  It'll be kinda hard to tab the timing and everything 
out, but I'll do my best.

Tune guitar down half step and Drop-D

main riff throughout verses:
eb|----------------------------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------------------------------|
Gb|----------------------------------------------------|
Db|-2--2--2-3--3--0-2--2-3--0-2--2--2-3--3-2--2-0--0-3-|
Ab|-2--2--2-3--3--0-2--2-3--0-2--2--2-3--3-2--2-0--0-3-|
Db|-2--2--2-3--3--0-2--2-3--0-2--2--2-3--3-2--2-0--0-3-|
          . .  .                    . .  .    .    .
(.=palm mute)
on the palm mutes, make them REALLY REALLY short, so you can almost not even tell 
what chord you're playing.  listen to the song, you'll hear what i mean.  on the
last time before the chorus, don't palm mute anything for the last 4 chords, let them
ring..

chorus:
eb|----------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------------|
Gb|----------------------------------|
Db|-2------------------------------3-| repeat however many times
Ab|-2------------------------------3-|
Db|-2------------------------------3-|
  "you like to think you're never wrong..."


LYRICS:

Forfeit the game 
Before somebody else 
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last.

You love the way I look at you
When taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

chorus:
You like to think you're never wrong (you live what you learn)
You have to act like you're someone (you live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you (you live what you learn)
You want to share what you've been through (you live what you learn)

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life
My pride is broken


That's it.  THESE GUYS RULE!!!  If you don't have the CD, go buy it!!!!!!!!!
