Everclear - Wonderful

Played 20100101: This was an easy enough song, that before looking at the tab, I knew the first chord is G, and that the key was in G, and that the other two chords would be D and C, and was pretty sure on the G D C D progression. But not entirely. Though I knew it didn't sound like Brown-Eyed Girl, so it wasn't a G C G D progression. And the music was lively enough to not contain an Am or Em. The Dsus4 does sound better than the D, but I wonder if it should replace the second D as well. G Dsus4 C Dsus4 instead of the below G Dsus4 C D. ::shrug::

If just playing the guitar part as done in the song, the strumming is Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum... where the two strums are strumming one chord from the previous and then the next, i.e., G, G D, D C, C D, D G, etc. But when playing alone, or with only guitars, it's better to be a little creative to fill in the blanks. I seem to be doing D D D DU UD. But I don't know how that's happening because I'm pretty sure the song is in 4/4 time. Perhaps it might be 1 2 3 &4 &a. But since that's too complicated, I'm gonna simplify my strum to become D D D DU on 1 2 3 4&.

Note : Try Plucking during the Chorus
The Dsus is quite faint, so inbetween strumming you can change it to D

G - Dsus - C - D (Intro and Verse)

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

I hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words and make me want to cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed and I
Dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful some day

C - D - G - G | C - D - G
Promises mean everything
When you're little and the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
And tell me everything is wonderful now

G - Dsus - C - D
Na na nana........
Please don't tell me everthing is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all ok
I laugh a lot so my friends wont know
But when the bell rings I just don't want to go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful some day

C - D - G - G | C - D - G
Promises mean everything
When you're little and the world is so big (so big)
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

G - Dsus - C - D
Na na nana........
No. No. I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now.
No. No. I don't want to hear you tell me everything is wonderful now.

C - D - G - G
I don't want to hear you say that I will understand some day
No. No. No. No.
I don't want to hear you say both have grown in a different way
No. No. No.
No I don't want to meet your friend
I don't want to start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be

C - D(sus) - D - D - D
Somedays, I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now.

G - Dsus - C - D
Na na nana....
