Hey guys! :) Long time no put up Chords D: I feel like I'm in a mood to put up
chords for songs :)
This is for a song that has been STUCK IN MY HEAD LIKE ALL DAY. haha. FAAANTASTIC
song. For some reason the Bridge was really hard for me to chord out? That's
weird. and that part with the "Oho yeah oho"... D:
Anywhooos, I hope you like it (feel free to comment and/or rate! and lemme know if
there are ANY MISTAKES AND WHAT-NOT PLEASE, THANKS) and have a GREAT rest of the Spring Break! :)

P.S. I wish it was sunny today, lol. It is RAINING D:
P.P.S. I was SUPPOSED to post up "The Bird and the Worm" by Owl City like last
month? But I never did... uh... I dunno if I will now, maybe... --> That song is
GREAT, btw, so take a listen if you so want to! :)
HAPPY PLAYING! :)
* The asterisk --> * <-- means STRUM ONCE.
** Listen to the recording to match strumming patterns. Thanks! :)
