I can't figure out the rythm to the chorus cuz' I can hardly hear but here is the lead
part: THE RYTHM PART IS WHAT I THINK IT IS BUT IT'S MOST LIKELY NOT RIGHT. YOU'LL HAVE
TO FIGURE OUT STRUMMING PATTERN ON YOUR OWN.

B------------------------- Y -------------------------------
G-7-6---7--7-6---6-------- T -------------------------------
D-----7--------7---------- H -2-----7-----------------------
A------------------------- M -0-2-4-5-----------------------
E------------------------- ---0-2-------------------------
Alright this is the chords for the part where he keeps repeating "rather forget the days
we spent tryin' to stay a floatin'":
A5, F#5, E5, D5, C#6 (PALM -MUTED)
THEY CHANGE UP THE STRUMMING ONCE OR TWICE AND SOMETIMES LEAVE OUT THE C#6.
SONG ENDS ON AN A5.
I HAVE THE BASS PART FOR THE INTRO TABBED OUT IN THE BASS TABS SECTION IF YOU WANT THEM.

| I don't think there're any STD songs that people can't relate to on some level. That's why they're so amazing - everyone feels connected | |

| Yeah, I'm guessing whoever it was that he wrotet his song about is a friend that maybe tries to act different and was never really good friends w/ him but acted like it. I hate that. It's happened to me but not a lot and I never wanna have a friend that I feel that I wanna forget later on in life. | |

| I have a friend who fits this song perfectly. "What's a bond if it dissolves in water?" I've asked myself about this numerous times, hoping i could make some sense of what this girl did. This song definately helped, "And hey, I choose my company by the beating of their hearts, not the swelling of their heads | |

| He relates to like, everyone so well. This so reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. Like you don't know whats goin on when you were together, but then you break up and think, crap i was an idiot. Stupid attachments. If your ever in a relationship you dont like get out of it before the 'attachment' part becomes too much. just a little advice. | |
