Once you get the [Intro]
down, you’re pretty much almost there, it’s reused quite a bit. In that section, there are a few spots where one would be tempted to use hammer-ons, but they are just well-timed chord changes in-sync with the strums. To make things a bit more colorful, John changes the accents on the strumming and skips/adds hammer-ons here and there, check the videos for reference.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess I just feel like
I guess I just feel like
Nobody’s honest, nobody’s true
Everyone’s lyin’ to make it on through
I guess I just feel like
I’m the same way too
[Instrumental 1]
[Verse 2]
I guess I just feel like
Good things are gone
And the weight of my worries
Is too much to take on
I think I remember the dream that I had
That love’s gonna save us from a world that’s gone mad
I guess I just feel like
What happened to that?
[Instrumental 2]
[Verse 3]
I guess I just feel like
The joke’s gettin’ old
The future is fading
And the past is on hold
But I know that I’m open and I know that I’m free
And I’ll always let hope in wherever I’ll be
And if I go blind, I’d still find my way
I guess I just felt like
Givin’ up today
