I saw a tab for this song on the internet and the author
of that tab said that he'd seen in Guitar World Acoustic
that the guitarist in Goo Goo Dolls said that the tuning
for this song was (Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Eb). But I really hate
retuning my guitar so this tab is made for standard tuning.
So *technically* this song isn't "correct", you aren't
playing it *exactly* like the original guitarist. But it
sounds REALLY close to the original song and you don't
have to bother to retune your guitar.
The tab with the other tuning was at Fresh Tabs I
think. It's a tab archive with only new songs. I don't
remember the URL but it's a pretty good place.
If you want to play along to the CD you must put a capo
on the first fret. That's because of all the tuning bullshit.
Oh, and the lyrics might be a bit wrong in some places. It's
really hard sometimes to hear what he's singing. So any
corrections for the lyrics are more than welcome.

P.S.
The song 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls is also great. I can't
transcribe it properly, I saw in a interview with John Rzeznik
that the tuning for this song is BDDDDD and I'm not gonna tune
to that because it's to much bother. So I decided to give you
just the basics.
Here are the basic chords to play on your acoustic in
standard tuning:
D Em G
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Bm A G
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
D Em G
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
Bm A G
and I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
Bm A G
And I don't want the world to see me
Bm A G
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Bm A G
Well everything's made to be broken
Bm A G
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't comin'
All the moment the truth in your lies
Well everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Well everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
