All Time Low is an American pop punk band formed in Baltimore, Maryland, United States in 2003. When Alex Gaskarth (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards) was in middle school, he was moved from private school to public school, where he met Jack Barakat (lead guitar, backing vocals), and put the band together; later recruiting Rian Dawson (drums, percussion), and Zack Merrick (bass guitar, backing vocals). The band's name came from a line in the New Found Glory song Head On Collision.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Technically, you only hit the first chord a few times, but I like the x32 there, because it helps keep time. No second guitar part listed...I don't feel it's nessisary to have a second guitar. He performs this a lot by himself. Yeah the tuning is really but personally, I think it sounds great like this, and is a lot easier/confortable. I it might just be me though.
Anyways, if theres any problem, you can message me. [email protected] or myspace.com/davidpwnsatbass
thanks, goodluck.

Now there's an aching in my back, a stabbing pain that says I lack The commmon sense and confidence to bring an end to promises that I make in times of desperate conversation hoping my night will be better than their's in the end. Just say when.

[So as you will see, you go straight into the bridge, so play that note at the volume your going to do the bridge.]
Bridge [This parts pretty simple, just listen to the song, and get louder when you get to the 'wait outside' line.]
e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B-|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G-|-----------------------------------------------------------------| C#|--10---------------------------------------------8---------------| G#|--10---------------------------------------------8---------------| D-|--9----------------------------------------------7---------------| I've never told a lie, and that makes me a liar.
[Same notes, listen to the song and figure it out for the rest of the bridge]
I've never lit a match with intent to start a fire. But recently the flames are getting out of control. Call me a name, kill me with words. Forget about me, it's what I deserve. I was your chance to get out of this town. But I ditched the car and left you to... Wait outside. I hope the air will serve to remind you that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath, and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest. In my chest.
