    Chord Overstreet

Hey there! This is my first tab, so there might be a few errors. Plus I had to figure 
this out based on mobile phone recordings of the live (and only) version, so it wasn't easy!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This is the song that Chord Overstreet wrote and performed live at The Roxy on July 13th 
2013. His original song, he dedicated to Cory Monteith. I love them both, and wanted to 
help people learn this amazing, albeit sad song.
RIP, Cory.

Don't know if this section makes sense, but just play around with it, tweaking a C chord 
with your pinky on the 3rd fret, second string. Good luck!

(VERSE 2)
 CWhat (x32010@1)would you say
If i take you back
What would you say
If i forgave you for that
In a moment of weakness
I could see you play it out
But you didn’t lose a love again
I’ll tell you that now

            Sorry, he performed on the 20th, not the 13th (when Cory unfortunately passed). My bad.
