everything is excellent just in 2:52 in the studio version matthew does: |---4----4/7--| |-------------| |-6---6------9| |-------------| |-------------| |-------------| until caleb says be somebody the 2nd time

Actually, if you take what has been tabbed, and drop it one whole note, to be in the same key as the studio version, what has been tabbed is actually correct. However, using the 02 performance on YouTube, Matthew plays something slightly different: [tab] |----------------| |----5----/12--9-| |-6-----6--------| |----------------| |----------------| |----------------| [/tab] Also, as per the same 02 performance, I think the chorus is slightly wrong: [tab] |----7----7----7----2--------5---4-| |----------------------------------| |-9----9-----9---4-----4-6---------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| [/tab]
