To my knowledge its not on any Album or EP

[YouGoOutBruiseYellow]

@drudysa at a recent concert he introduced this song as an extra on an old album

@girlwiththeweirdname actually the chords on the "you deserved better than you got" part are G, A, D, G, E minor, A, D, A; then back to the original "four chords I use most of the time", haha

[argnootin]

@girlwiththeweirdname It's all downstrokes. It's 4/4 time: all eighth notes, with the 1st, 4th, and 7th ones accented harder. So a given measure would be like: ^ _ _ ^ _ _ ^ _ (where '^' indicates a harder strum and '_' is a normal strum). If I'm not mistaken, the chords throughout are D, A, E minor, G.

That was one of the best concerts ever.  Front row:)

What it is the strumming pattern for this song?

I was just a couple people back from the stage at this show, somewhere in the region of where JD's looking when he says "you deserved better than you got." Damn, I love seeing him play live.

They played this in Chicago last night! It was the first time I've ever heard it. It's not on a CD or EP, is it? Thanks for posting!!

Ahh, you rock so hard. I was so glad this was on youtube...and then I realized it was from the show I was just at!

Thank you, thank you!
