This is track 11 from disc 1 of FOW's Out of State Plates Release.  It is a very 
rough demo home recording.  I love the song and I think it's another example of 
FOW's great writing ability.

This is probably only my 3rd tab and I did my last one years ago so I'm hoping 
this one turns out alright.  I guarantee it's better than the tab that wasn't 
there before.  You may have to change the key, but I think the progression is 
correct.  I'm pretty sure the Cmaj7 is correct but the G6 could probably just be 
played as a standard G.

This tab is dedicated to Jessica I., one of the most special people I've ever 
met.  I want you around.
