Keep in mind that Howie Day uses a very unique strumming pattern, and you need to
listen the song to get it right. Try doing some hammer ons when switching between
Cadd9 to C Cmaj7, and from Asus2 to Am to Asus4. I think Howie uses them (depending
on which version of "She Says" you are listening to.) For the chorus, the chords
are placed roughly the word that you should be singing when you hit them, but it's
not perfect.
Good Luck!

Verse One:
Sweet is the sight
Of her room
Window open by candlelight
How would you know?
Cold winter on the shore
Chills the dress she wore
It's on the floor
Still it feels so warm...today
Pre-Chorus:(start by still strumming the last C from verse 1)
FGCAm
And that's why I'm wondering why you had to tell me
FGCAmF
What's going on in her head, what's wrong,
GCAmFGAm
Come around to another time when you don't have to run
Chorus:
FG
And when she says she wants somebody else
CAm
I hope you know that she doesn't mean you and
FG
When she breaks down and makes a sound
CAm
You'll never hear her the way that I do
FG
And when she says she wants someone to love
CAm
I hope you know that she doesn't mean you
FG
And when she breaks down and lets you down
CAm
I hope you know she doesn't mean you
Outro: (back to verse)
Em F C Em F --> Begin Verse
Verse Two:
Swing into flight
Over hills...
Over her hills, it's twilight
Yeah, I guess that's right now
While were here
Tell me why it's so funny
That you're so funny when you're mad
Always so mad...so mad
*Chorus*
Interlude: (after second chorus)
EmF
Yeah and I don't know where
GAm
Come and find me
EmF
I don't know what
GAm
We're coming to and
EmF
I don't know what
GAm
It means to me and
EmF
You don't know what
G Am --> --> (strum once each) --> Em F
It means to you
(Howie moans and mumbles a bit after the last line of the interlude, and he continutes
the Em F G Am sequence, but I didn't include that.)
**Then Howie wraps it up with the intro one more time**
