Tabbed by: The Valrus
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
Notes: Fantastic song, sounds great on solo guitar if you skip or just
don't stress about the bridge. And, of course, skip the weird bits
if you play the 7-minute version with the extra verse.

As I try to fill all of my empty days,

I thought of the ways that I had broke my own heart.

all the good cheer and all of the charm disappears.

The bailbondsman gave me a smile.
I was just thinking of only my sins all the while.
