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!
Hey again guys and gals! I always start by saying what an awesome band this and how much
I thoroughly enjoy their songs! I hope you enjoy this tab I know it is a hundred
percent accurate. If you have any questions feel free to comment on the bottom and I'll do my best to answer.
Need to knows to play:
-Standard Tuning
-This song is performed by the group using all bar chords, but if you don't like that
then you can do whatever you please. :D
-The guitar strumming pattern for this song is probably the most difficult part, but if
you listen to the song enough times it should come without too much trouble.
-The strumming style in the chorus is completely different than that of the verses.
-Every time you get to the verse before the chorus it builds to a hard stop on the last
A chord and then the chorus begins. (Listen to the song)
-There is a hard stop every time on the last E of the chorus before he says eighteen.
(Listen to the song)
-The G chord in the chorus that moves from G to E to D is a very fast chord change
compared the rest of the song. I recommend using the following chords as dictated for this
specific part.

So many dreams and an empty page

F#m D
Everybody knows what I should do
A E
Everybody works so I should too
F#m D
How do I explain what feels so wrong?

Alone with your dreams

Living in between
Eighteen...
