drop E E B E A C# F#
to get to drop e tune your top string to E then tune the other strings to the 7th
fret instead of the 5th
or just tune it to drop D and capo it on the second fret
please note i know this song is played in standard this is just so
you dont have to tune your guitar to standard
i suggest tuning to drop c and using a capo to alternate tuning
like if you put it on the 2nd fret it makes it drop d and for this song
put it on the fourth fret , this makes this gives you a wide rang of songs
you can play without having to change tunings all the time

Face down with the LA curbside endings/with the ones and zeros. Downtown
was the perfect place to hide. The first star that I saw last night was a
headlight/of a man-made sky, but/man-made never made our dreams collide,
Collide.

but, this town doesn't look the same tonight These dreams started singing

alive, Alive
