This is a modification of a Tab already for this song, but I saw a few
discrepancies and decided to add in a bit to make it more suitable
for a solo acoustic setting.
Key: A minor
Time: 4/4
Note for playing: The song sounds good either simply strumming the chords
with the same timing and emphasis as in the Foiled album version OR
fingerpicked playing the vocal melody within the chords. I choose the later
but this is totally up to you. Just make sure your voice can handle it if you
choose to sing.

nicer tone.

On a mountain, oh yeah, whatever it takes
E Am
I would meet you, would you meet me?

Vocal Melody: This changes but just so you have it in case you want to
fingerpick the entire thing. I won't tab that out because it's important you
figure that out yourself.
