This is a modification of a Tab already for this song, but I saw a few 
discrepancies and decided to add in a bit to make it more suitable 
for a solo acoustic setting.
Key: A minor 
Time: 4/4
Note for playing: The song sounds good either simply strumming the chords 
with the same timing and emphasis as in the Foiled album version OR 
fingerpicked playing the vocal melody within the chords. I choose the later 
but this is totally up to you. Just make sure your voice can handle it if you
choose to sing.
