Great song. Wasn?t sure how accurate some of the other tabs were so I tried figuring it 
for myself. It might not be perfect but I think it?s pretty accurate. Any comments let 
know

The speaker in this door is blown
So nothing sounds quite right

And I will leave under the cover, summer?s kiss upon the sky
