YOUR EX-LOVER IS DEAD - Stars

Tabbed by: Schiefferbrains
Email: stephen.cdn@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
Notes:
1) "God that was..." begins here --> * for verse 1, as does "This scar..." for verse 2.
"strange..." in verse 1 falls on the C chord, as does "fleck..." for verse 2.
2) Listen for the strumming, it's consistent for most of the song, but it does change.
3) Kelly i'm not sorry I met you. I'm not sorry it's over.
