"I wrote this song" by Making April
When I first heard this song, I instantly had to learn it.
I couldn't find any tabs that matched this song to the full depth of how its played.
So I decided to carefully tab this beautiful song.

***Verse***

and I'd start with maybe a memory or two
but then I saw you for the first time in a while
and awkward thoughts brought awkward smiles
and I left your room for the very last time And i know..
