From "The Bucket List"
Tabbed By Thomas Cadmus
 
Note: There is a slight tuning change but still sounds perfect without it. The bridge is
little off. If you fiddle around with it you'll get it.

Verse 1:
                  D      Dsus4   D  D7

Take all of your so called problems

Fighting with the shadows in your head
 
              D        Dsus4  D  D7
Living on the same old moment
 
                  D           Dsus4         D     D7
Knowing you'll be better off instead if you could only

I like the tab dude, but I really Don't think the chord preogression is (D Dsus4 D D7) I think it sounds better if if you play it: (D Dsus4 D 000220)I'm not sure what the name of this chord is
