Sweeter - Gavin DeGraw

Everything is here for the song. You just need to play along with it to get it :)
For the intro you'll have to repeat parts. and for the verses you'll follow the chord changes
On the second half of the verses he plays the octaves of the root note on the piano
easy but fun song to play and sing (harder to sing)
On the second half of the verses he plays octaves on piano of the root notes for each chord
