Hi guys I'm new here and this is my first tab. And the reason why I choose this song is
it's one of my favorite songs from my favorite band. And this is from their tablature
so it has to be correct. Duh! Well I hope you get it!. And Enjoy it's a really awesome
Who cares if their going soft. They said their would like to work with lighter prettier
so let them be....You critics!
Tuning:GTR 1 (Electric)EADGBE-Standard
GTR 2 (Baritone)ADADAD-Like really freakin low but it's their typical tuning.
Oh yeah. Since the pace of this song is kinda' slow. You'll need some major ass feed
to fill in the space where there's no sound. Delay! Delay! Delay!

(NOTE* There's gonna be a lot of open notes but it sounds awesome when played right so
worry)
Repeat Intro
ELECTRIC w/Distortion *CHORUS*
(I love this part is sounds all Bad ASS!)
(*Whenever Aaron says a long note fill in with this*)
It would sound better if you play "17" with a vibrato but that's if you
to do it. Either way sounds great! So I'm putting it in "()". Put if not just hold the
until you hear Aaron go for another long note.

ELECTRIC GTR 1 Play the chorus until the song ends wait a whole two seconds to repeat.
LYRICS:
1st verse (INTRO)
I can't believe how far I've come,
Now watch me stumble and come undone,
If you take away these memories,
All that's left is just me,
Chorus:
Cause' I don't want this,
And I don't need this,
And I don't feel this,
It seems that even though she's with me,
I can't shake this,
And I can't fake this,
And I won't take this,
Anymore,
2nd Verse:
So you chose to break me heart,
I should have seen this from the start,
I'm haunted by your apathy,
All that's left is killing me,
Chorus:
Cause' I don't want this,
And I don't need this,
And I don't feel this,
It seems that even though she's with me,
I can't shake this,
And I can't fake this,
And I won't take this,
Anymore
Bridge:
Do you believe that the way you choose to be,
I've always had to see,
The brighter side of this so I don't lose my faith,
Now the sun has gone away,
It's getting colder everyday,
So before I free to death there's something I should say,
Chorus (OUTRO)
I don't want this,
And I don't need this,
And I don't feel this,
It seems that even though she's with me,
I still can't shake this,
And I can't fake this,
And I won't take this,
Though you say you understand,
You still won't face this,
Can't erase this,
And I won't embrace this,
Anymore.....
GREAT SONG! I hope I did it right for my first time and I hope you guys can understand
