_____________________
   /  The Getaway Plan  /  I think this song is about a guy feeling that he
  /  Streetlight       /  needs to fall in love. It's about that you have to
 /  Streeglight       /  give yourself fully in to love and surrender to it
/____________________/  as not living it out fully would be worth noting.

If you want my bass tab for this song, just follow the link:

Tunings: Drop-C (C G C F A D)

 Guitar 1: Distorted
 Guitar 2: Distorted
 Guitar 3: Clean w/slightly dirty overdrive
 Guitar 4: Distorted w/wah

- Although there are four guitar tracks, it's no problem to play this song if you're
  only two guitarists. At most there are three of the guitar tracks playing at a time
  and if two of them aren't playing the same, then it's no problem omitting one part.


 Intro (chorus):
****************
Guitar 1 & 2's riffs are both played 2x for the Intro (and all the choruses).
Guitar 3 first plays its melody in the second round here in the intro.

 Chorus:

Just as it's explained in the Intro, Guitar 1 & 2 play their riffs twice.


  " But if we crawl into the morning
    We will never see the light
    And if we leave it up the fate
