Key: G
Note: This isn't the real tab Adam Young uses in the song--it's just chords I put
together that match the song.ïAlthough the song is in the key of D, I play it in G because
it's easier to play D instead of A in this instance. x) And since the 4 'verses' aren't
the same tune or style, I call the last two 'part 2'.ï
