Tabbed by: Alex Barrera

*NOTE*: I made this tab before i knew Bayside plays in D Standard. Sorry.




*Update 6-11* Added lyrics over segments for easy reading.
*Update 6-12* Added second chorus fill, and beginning of bridge.
*Update 6-17* Added fills for bridge and main riff.
*Update 7-10* Fixed Prechorus.

This is a very basic tab, as you can tell, the fast bridge part and the fill in the
hasnt been tabbed yet.

I know Bayside does play in D Standard, but this is for anyone, like myself,
who tends to keep their guitar in E Standard or Drop D.

Tuning: Drop D

Transition into Bridge:

Probably a feedback effect, but to badly replicate it:

Kind of a tremolo, this part is basically useless.
