Look people, im sick of people telling me that system tunes in C,
well NO SH** I know already, I put this on here for people who
dont like to spend to much time tuning to C, I dont like wasting
time at practice so I just drop to D, Yes its like the exact
way to play the song in C, i think it still sounds good in DROP D.

Play this way and it should sound good, my band plays it this way, doesnt sound that bad.

My solo and interlude to solo I have updated, so they are alot better
then they used to be, since everyone seems to be a soad expert, you
have to play everything 2 frets lower on this tab, this tab is how I
play it and it sounds good to me.


Order:
-Intro/Verse (x4)
-Chorus
-Intro/Verse (x3)
-Chorus
-Post Chorus
-Interlude to solo or Bridge
-Solo
-Verse 2 (x2)
-Chorus
-Post Chorus
