2007 Update:
Since transcribing this song, I've seen it in Guitar World Magazine,
GuitarOne Magazine, and Guitar Techniques Magazine - it looks as though
my transcription is EXACTLY the same as in the Magazines (they ALL have
the same chords as me, so I guess my transcription must be accurate :)

Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Drop-D Tuning D-A-D-G-B-E

[VERSE 1]

              
Never made it as a wise man
                 
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
                  
Tired of living like a blind man
                      
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
                 
And this is how you remind me
                 
This is how you remind me of what I really am
                   
This is how you remind me of what I really am


[CHORUS]

                                            
It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story
                                 
This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
                                              
I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle
                                   
These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
                       (x2)
Yeah,   yeah,   yeah,   no,   no
 

[VERSE 2]

              
It's not like you didn't know that
                      
I said I love you and I swear I still do
              
And it must have been so bad
                      
Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed you
                    
And this is how you remind me of what I really am
                   
This is how you remind me of what I really am
 

[CHORUS]

                                            
It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story
                                 
This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
                                              
I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle
                                   
These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
                       (x2)
Yeah,   yeah,   yeah,   no,   no

[VERSE 3]

              
Never made it as a wise man
                 
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
                 
And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me of what I really am

Yeah,   yeah,   yeah,   no,   no
