SONG: Fair Fight
ARTIST: The Fray
ALBUM: Bonus track on 2nd studio album "The Fray"
TUNING: Standard
CAPO: None
NOTES: H = Hammer-on; P = Pull-off
Finger picking is recommended
Listen to the song for the rhythm [it is not too difficult if you listen!]
The majority of this is correct in my opinion, although I left out a few arbitrary
notes. Hopefully this is helpful.

VERSE x4
Made it fourteen city blocks without breathing
Light breaks from the left and hits between the buildings
Stoplights change their name from red to green to red to green again.
Love has it's critics, but they never keep many friends...

VERSE x4
She up and died and left you in a fall you cannot forget
You were too young - you said "not yet, not yet, not yet"
That year the cherries choked from pretty pink to red to brown
You looked around but she was nowhere to be found...
