   WEll. This is a pretty good song by a band i used to think were shit til
their new CD "Gasoline". Awsome chick song, so fella's if u wanna get the ladies, learn how
to play and sing this song. I've seen it work.
 
 
 
 
INTRO: Guitar 1

Guitar 2- You can find the strumming pattern that works the best for you, but
          it's fairly simple. W/e is easiest, it's hard to screw it up.

VERSE- Guitar 1 does what is below, while guitar 2 slowly strums the same
       chords. Guitar 2 is optional, but sounds better if you have it in there.
       again, use the pattern thats best for you.

E|-0---0-------0---3---3-----------------------------------------------------|
 
CHORUS- It's very straight forward. Guitar 1 strums the chords while Guitar 2
        Does the little picking that i have below the chords.

BRIDGE- This is where a electric guitar with distortion comes in, but again,
        if your alone playin for a chick, just play this part with the acoustic.

    Other than that, thats the whole song. I have a really sweet version on
guitar pro, but i can't submit it since i only have the demo version, and
i'm too cheap to buy the full version. anyways, great song, good band, learn this
song and go get some ladies.

The intro sounds better with harmonics and is closer to the CD. Please leave out the comments about playing for chicks; they're not needed.
