TROUBLE BREATHING - Alkaline Trio
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Pieper1
Email:skater4life8118@yahoo.com
Tuning:Standard
This is one of my favorite Alkaline Trio songs to listen to and play
It's pretty easy, once you get all the timing with the words
The words and the tabs go together, so it would make it easier to.
Good luck and enjoy.
Holla if I need corrections. Peace.
