Ok, so maybe this song is one of my guilty pleasures, but c'mon it's a great melodic
song! I like songs with catchy vocals, im a sucker for that. Anyways, it seems like a
pretty straight-forward song. The other tab for this song was in the right key, but it
was a lower E. The higher powerchord E sounds much better. Anyways, I've decided to add
the lyrics (from AZlyrics.com) and just show where the chords are.
