Band Name: Sum 41

Tuning: Guitar 1 - Drop D [D-A-D-G-B-e]
        Guitar 2 - Drop D [D-A-D-G-B-e]

This is a good song with high intensity... and a good solo. It sounds as if Dave uses a whammy pedal for the last bit of it to give it that sound. For some parts I used sixteenth (s) eight (E) notes to help you on parts that might sound confusing in terms of strumming. 

The intro of this song is the verse. 

. = Palm Mute
~ = Hold Note
/ = Slide
() = Ghost Note
x = Mute String
<> = Harmonic

LYRICS
=-=-=-=-=-=
Can't step in my way
Head first and love and dismay
It's like beating the dead
I can't stop going out on my head
Whatever this could be I never know
I never said it'd be the end all to be all

I hate you today
I can't find a way
Don't drag me down now

Goodbye
I've had enough frustration
I won't get stuck
Goodbye
This dead end situation
Is just not worth my time

It's no better today
I never thought it would end up this way
You've got something to say
Don't want to hear it if it gets in my way

All this confusion, WANDERING, SO OVERWHELMED
ALL disillusion seems so clear 
Can't find your conclusion to supporting evolution
Things aren't what they appear

So what's the point of this now
I know you too well 
We're running backwards

Goodbye
I've had enough frustration
I won't get stuck
Goodbye
This dead end situation
Is just not worth my time

But waiting so frustrating 
I'm so sick of
All this tension not to mention
I'm so sick of
DON'T FAKE it
YOU won't make it
Just save yourself this trouble
GET DOWN AND PRAY FOR YOURSELF
Cause I'm just fine

You speak for all of us when
You can't be heard
I bet you haven't listened 
To not one word
You speak for all of us when
You can't be heard
I bet you haven't listened 
To not one word

Goodbye
I've had enough frustration
I won't get stuck
Goodbye
This dead end situation
Is just not worth my time

But waiting so frustrating 
I'm so sick of
All this tension not to mention
I'm so sick of
Sick of you
