Hey everyone,

This is my first submission in a good long while so I hope it helps in any way possible.

Well there it is everyone! I'd like to give credit to Monica Kirby
and her fabulous Youtube video which had the piano rendition of this
song of which I listened to in order to help make this tab.
Also a thank you to Alyrics.com which helped me remember a word or
two that I forgot. And last but not least, a big shout out to AWOLNATION
