Hey everyone!
Had a hankering to learn this song and couldn't find correct sounding tabs,
so I looked up the song on YouTube and this is what I think it is...
Tuning: Standard
BPM: 116
The following chord diagrams are the variations I used in the song...
I figured it out on an acoustic, so if you're playing it on electric,
I would recommend using power chords...
(KEY - chord:EADGBe)
D:x00232 ...
G:3x0033 ...
D/F#:2x0232 ...
A:x02220 ...
Bm:x2443x ...
Asus:x02230 ...
Em:022033

PRE-CHORUS 1:

VERSE 2:

Notes:
The last line in verse two is the line he says in the music video on YouTube...
It's contrary to all the lyric sites I looked at, but that's what he says in the song...
And I like that line better anyway... And it's my chord chart... So there... Haha...
-
The Asus chord in the two pre-chorus' could be played as a D/F#...
I like the sound of the D/F# better, but to be true to the recording,
I put the Asus 'cause I'm pretty sure that's what they play...
-
I palm-muted the verses, crescendoed the pre-choruses, and played full on the choruses,
except for the broken down one...
