This is my first tab, and I’m 100% sure this tab is correct. Don’t get confused with the
keyboard in the intro, it sounds similar to guitar but its not, it’s the keyboard.

Intro- Bass Drum intro for a while, keyboard, then bass comes in.


Vocals start (tell me how do I feel….), then guitar comes in.
