Guitar tabs

I just got into Yellowcard in late 2015, and found the existing tabs for this song to be very
inaccurate. This song is a full step down, and though some of the chords may look strange, I
promise they are correct. Check out my Guitar Pro tab for better detail!

This song is in 6/8 time signature.

[Choir Intro]
