Ladilala so this is the first tab i've written. It's a simpler way of playing Say by 
Mayer and i think it sounds okay for me just playing around with some tabs. :] feel free to 
or add around stuff.

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only . . .
