Song: Second Chance
Band: Shinedown
Album: The Sound of Madness
Tuning: Standard
Tabbed: J. Griff (artificial_inside@yahoo.com)
Comments: I didn't see anyone else put out a tab for this song, so I 
decided to tab it out. Shinedown is one of my most favorite bands and 
their new album is a little different, but it's very awesome. On the
downside, I'm quite disappointed with the "departure" of Jasin Todd. 
That guy can't replaced.

I just laid out the chords for you, if you listen to the song then you can
get the strumming down. I know this might not be 100% accurate, but it's a
decent layout for the song. People keep telling me this song is played with
a capo, but I tried my hand at playing/tabbing it in standard. If there are
mistakes please let me know. Please rate and have fun.

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

Verse:


Cm          Eb5
My eyes are open wide
Abmaj
And by the way, I made it

Through the day

I watched the world outside
Abmaj
By the way, I'm leaving out

Today


Pre-chorus:


Bb5              Cm
Well, I just saw hailey's
          Abmaj
Comet she waved
     Eb5            Eb7/D
Said why you always running
   Bb5   
In place?
         Cm
Even the man in the
        F
Moon disappears
*   *     *  *
Somewhere in the

Stratosphere


Chorus:


Cm      Eb5
Tell my mother,
        F5
Tell my father
              Abmaj
I've done the best I can
Cm           Eb5
To make them realise
           F5
This is my life
            Abmaj
I hope they understand
Cm      Eb5             F5
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Abmaj (Strum once - Let it ring)
Sometimes goodbye

Is a second chance


Verse:


Cm
Please don't cry
Eb5
One tear for me

This is my one and

Only voice
Abmaj
So listen close, it's

Only for today
