"Stories"
Tabbed by Ben Gunning
This is an awesome song and is relatively easy to play. Its not all my work, i got a lot of it from some
dude's tab on another site. I just changed a bunch of lyrics and the slide part of the main riff wasnt
right. Enjoy.
/=slide up
h=hammer
p=pulloff
*=bend that 3rd string up and down quickly

I found a line
and then it grew.
I found myself
still thinking of you.
I felt so empty
and now I'm fine.
But still it's burning
when will you be mine.

Look at me
still in your mind.
our memories
so intertwined.
Well you broke thru
and found your way.
and so did I
no need to stay.
