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!
it's not exactly the same as the song but it sounds about just right. my guitar's old and temporarily not right, so it's up to you where to put the capo, the 2nd or 3rd.
and don't try to play along with the song at first, just play and sing by yourself( is important!!)
lastly this is a strumming tab. I'm hoping someone will post the tabs for the second guitar.
Capo 3rd or 2nd Standard tuning
this song has only 4 basic chords, strum gently and rock hard on the appropriate parts.

EmF But what made me believe?

AmFEmFAmF and run away. Today is gone, tomorrow is mine

Verse 2 : same as verse 1
So I walk to the store. I spent a buck fifty in quarters to buy the ring you said you liked, cause I'm thinking of you now. Now I drive to the coast. The place where I drown all my fears. Let the water set me free. I'm screaming can you hear?
EmFEm Or is this the end of everything I loved?
EmFEm Are we destined for more?
FEmF
Why can't you look me in the eyes
FEm and tell me what you want to.
FEmF I know you want to so bad, so bad!
Prechorus: But I've seen this all before. Things shouldn't have gone this far. We shouldn't have gotten so close. What made me believe?
Chorus It was you who made me forget all that I've known. Every time I looked into your eyes. And it was me who decided to give up my heart and run away. Today is gone, tomorrow is mine, but I'm still alone.
