Hey there! This tab is for an unreleased song by Taylor Swift, who I really adore,
called Need You Now. This is my first tab, so don't be mad if it's not completely accurate,
but I just thought since there was not a tab for this and I truly love this song, I 
thought I'd tab it out. Again, I'm really sorry for any mistakes.
