###As it gets to the Bridge the chord progression can be a bit weirder in its pacing, it's definitely a good
spot to stop and listen to the actual song to get a feel for it if you haven't really listened to it prior
to this tab! 
###Would definitely recommend listening to it prior to playing just in case!
