The song is too complicated for me, so i'll stop there, hoping it help a few tabbing what's left...
Im not a big Alesana fan... I've mostly done this for a request...

If i get some good feedback i'll try to continue it... Otherwise... Idk... Maybe later...

There's too much of harmony for me.

Hope you still like it!
