[Verse] is same as Intro pt 2 but palm muted
After the 2nd chorus there is a solo, which I haven't been able to tab yet. Sorry!
 
Then after the solo there is a piano interlude where he whispers, "I'm ok". When piano finishes play.

MCR 'complaining' about lost loves, killing themselves (BTW they only have ONE song about suicide, *******) is nothing new. If you actually look at the lyrics, most songs are complaining about something. MOST ABOUT LOST LOVES. The lyrics were a way for Gerard Way to express his feelings at the time, which is what music is about, isn't it? Expressing your feelings and getting heard. People who think they are crap musically obviously haven't paid any attention to anything other than the vocals and the teenie fans who go around saying how 'hot' the band members are. Give some real reasons why you think they suck and maybe I'll care.

i played this and i thought it sounded great like the other guy said the solo version 1 fits perfect great job

is this standard tuning or drop d?
