This song is amazing! This is the acoustic version as they play it in the Hurley studio.
is a really easy song to play. The chords look like they’re a mess but just look at
carefully and you should get it in no time. This song is also played with a capo at the 
fret. Please comment!

Chorus
You’re as fake as the moans you make. And you’re as weak as the hearts you break.

Pre-Verse

Come on and give me a break
e|--------------------------|
B|--333/-555/-777/-8888-----|

E---------------------------|

This is pretty much the entire song. This song can be played with two guitar but I only
it for one. The second guitar just plays basically the same thing but let certain chords
out or use downstrokes only. As for the breakdown part before the last few choruses,
use the Pre-verse notes starting with the 3rd and 5th fret held notes to begin with.
questions just email me and let me know what you think!
