When played live, Tasha usually picks the bottom 4 strings from bottom up,
sometimes randomly. For the recording, you can just strum the chords

Am | than today, there must be something
Em | wrong with me, i think im losing it
Am | oh no, i must be stupid

All power chords.. if u can't play power chords play them in traditional
positions. The progression would be Eminor, D, C, and Bminor.
