Band Name: Sum 41 Song: Pieces Tabber: poon_58@hotmail.com Tuning: Guitar 1: Raise B string to C (1 fret higher) [E-A-D-G-C-e] Guitar 2: Standard [E-A-D-G-B-e] I have corrected some parts. I am creating a new tab for this song (accurate). Now that I have seen videos, I realized this isn't the way to play it. If you still want this tab, e-mail me.

I tried to be perfect It just wasn’t worth it Nothing could ever be so wrong It’s hard to believe me It never gets easy I guess I knew that all along If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I'm trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own
