The High Road - Tab

Tuning: Standard

Note: I know this is really basic and isn't exactly like 
the song, but I think it's the best way to play it in 
standard tuning.  I know the F# power chord before the end of 
the first and second verses is higher than it is in the song, 
and that's just because it's not in dropped B tuning like the 
song is actually played in.  I think it still sounds nice 
however.

[Verse 1]
I told you I was hurt... 
bleeding on the inside...
