Pride by the Goo Goo Dolls and Elmo

Pride lyrics transcribed by Jay V

Note:
One fine day back in the day, the Goo Goo Dolls recorded a song with Elmo, which aired on Sesame Street. This is it.
I've noted when Elmo or Johnny sings by adding (E) or (J) to where they sing.

Tuning:
D#-A#-D#-G#-D#-D#

Chords: 
"F" - 220000
"D#" - x57000 or 000000
"C#" - x35000 
"G#" - 550000
"C" - x20000

Verse: 
 F                      D#
(J) Elmo, whisper in my ear
                   C#
I really wanna hear
                        C#
The things you did today that satisfied you 

 F                           D#
(E) Elmo reached the highest shelf
                     C#
He got dressed by himself
And Elmo wants to say, he's filled with Pride, yeah!

Pre-Chorus:
Riff 1
(J) When you've done the best you could
Riff 1a
(Elmo laughs like he was tickled)
You feel really really good (Elmo: yeah!)
   

Chorus:
           D#           C#    G# C# G# C# G#
(J) You're feeling that pride (Elmo: Pride!)
D#                             C#    G# C# G# C# G# D#
Yeah--- you're gonna feel that pride

(verse)
(J) You helped your mother bake her pie
You fell and didn't cry
You made your bed and said your ABC's

(E) Elmo learned to tie his shoe
He added two and two
Elmo drank up all the milk and ate his peas

(pre chorus)
Riff 1
(J) When you've done the best you could
(elmo air-guitars and sings to Riff 1a)
You feel really really good

(chorus)
(J) You're feeling that pride
Mmm Pride
