Song: Story Of A Lonely Guy Bassist: Mark Hoppus Tabber: Splaffbass! Ive seen tons of versions of this song, but ALL of them have got the pre-choruses and bridge wrong! I've listened to this song for months to work everything out perfectly. Intro: (G)--99---99---9----99--99---9----66--66--6---2--4--6-------| (D)7----7----7----9----9----9----4---4---4--00--0--0--------| (A)---------------------------------------------------------| (E)---------------------------------------------------------| (G)--99---99---9----99--99---9----66--66--6---2--4--2------| (D)7----7----7----9----9----9----4---4---4--00--0--0-------| (A)--------------------------------------------------------| (E)--------------------------------------------------------| Verse: (G)---------------------------------------------| (D)---------------------------------------------| (A) 00000000-22222222-44444444-55555555---------| x4 (E)---------------------------------------------| PreChorus: ( The way it should be done!) Listen closely my friends, and you'll hear it.
