Owl City - Tidal Wave

The strumming you should know if you like the song. 
Its down, up, down. Just repeat this. 
There was another tab for this, but I thought it was terrible. I'm sure this is much better.
 Many thanks, Adam.

But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope

          E (022100@1)     F# (244322@1)  B..... (fade out.)
And that makes me feel brave...
