The best you can do is to fake it
F#m E D
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

[Notes]
I noticed the chords tabs for this song on UG were slightly incorrect, so I made this to
appease my OCD. I cannot vouch for electric, but this tab sounds really good on an
acoustic guitar. I highly suggest you do not follow this tab 100%. Use it as a guide,
but improvise with different chord placements, hammer ons and rhythm effects to make it your own.
If you need any help, don't be afraid to tweet @izolate.
Happy playing!
