Tabbed by deadlyMETAL
Music by Hinder and B. Howes
I do not know that lead part played behind the vocals in the verses.
If YOU know it, or know someone that knows it, my email is at the bottom.
Hope you like this tab, this song is great, and I saw only two tabs of it
already, both of which only showed me what chords were used. Discrepencies? Email again!
