REPEAT CHORUS (x4)
In this next section I have a "2b3p0" in the tab which is a little confusing. What I'm trying to say is
play the "2's" and bend them up to "3's" then right after that, pull-off (release your fingers) to get the open notes "0's".

corrections:
1/17/04 - couple minor things
12/03- i changed a few things, please leave comments,
or vote my tab! i read your corrections and try to improve!
-i knew billy talent only had 1 guitarist but i had 2 guitar parts
(i guess cuz the stretches are really hard [either that or it was overdubbed])
12/18/03 - fixed the "PRE SOLO", also the bridge and the missing note from the intro. Again thank
you for giving my tab 5 stars. I know i deserve it because I've worked very hard on it. One more
thanks goes out to all the hard working tabbers out there for this song. Because of you, I was able
to fix my few flaws to create a great tab. Good job everyone! Everybody has their own interpetation
of the song!
