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]
Csus2              Csus/F
Never made it as a wise man
Bbsus2                 Bbsus2/Eb
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Csus2                  Csus/F
Tired of living like a blind man
Bbsus2                      Bbsus2/Eb
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
Csus2      Eb           Bb6sus2
And this is how you remind me
Csus2   Csus2/F      Bbsus2        Bbsus2/Eb
This is how you remind me of what I really am
Csus2   Csus2/F     Bb5           Eb5
This is how you remind me of what I really am
----------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
C5               Eb5         Bb5                    F5
It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story
C5         Eb5         Bb5               F5
This time I'm mistaken for handing you a heart worth breaking
C5              Eb5            Bb5                    F5
I've been wrong, I've been down, been to the bottom of every bottle
C5              Eb5         Bb5            F5
These five words in my head scream "are we havin' fun yet?"
C5    Fsus2  Bb5            Ebsus2  Csus2   (x2)
Yeah,   yeah,   yeah,   no,   no
---------------------------------------------------------
[VERSE-2]
Csus2              Csus/F
It's not like you didn't know that
Bbsus2                      Bbsus2/Eb
I said I love you and I swear I still do
Csus2              Csus/F
And it must have been so bad
Bbsus2                      Bbsus2/Eb
Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed you
Csus2         Csus2/F      Bbsus2     Bbsus2/Eb
And this is how you remind me of what I really am
Csus2   Csus2/F        Bb5        Eb5
This is how you remind me of what I really am
------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]

--------------------------------------------------
[VERSE-3-Basically Verse-1 minus two lines]
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealin'
And this is how you remind me
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
