Comments: I didn't see anyone else put out a tab for this song, so I decided to tab it
is one of my most favorite bands and their new album is a little different, but it's
on me. On the downside, I'm quite disappointed with the departure of Jasin Todd. That 
can't replaced.

I just laid out the chords for you, if you listen to the song then you can get the down.
know this might not be 100% accurate, but it's a decent layout for the song. If there's
mistakes please let me know. Please rate and have fun.

The *'s represent when to strum during the pre-chorus.
