NOTE:On every chord, except those in the chorus, and the bridge, you play the
top string of that chord once, and then play the rest of the chord twice.
Here is an example.

This tab should be 100% perfect, but if you find something wrong, you can
post a comment, so I can fix it. I love this song, because it's the only
Switchfoot song that has a waltz feel. I hope you enjoy this tab.
