2007 Update:

Since transcribing this song, I've seen it in Guitar World Magazine,

GuitarOne Magazine, and Guitar Techniques Magazine - it looks as though

my transcription is EXACTLY the same as in the Magazines (they ALL have

the same chords as me, so I guess my transcription must be accurate :)

Nickelback - How You Remind Me

Drop-D Tuning D-A-D-G-B-E

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

Tired of living like a blind man

I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

[CHORUS]

It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking

I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

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

Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO] Csus2 Csus4/F Bbsus2 Bbsus4/Eb (x2)

[VERSE-3-Basically Verse-1 minus two lines]

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

[CHORUS - Repeat to fade]
