i play chorus like that : |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------]----------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------9-8----]x2-----------9--------------------------| |---7--7-7------7--7-7---7-2--2-2---2-9--9-9------7--]-------7-7-9----------------------------|

sorry, but the chorus is pretty messed up. the timing isnt clear is part of it but the first part of the chorus just doenst make sense. that given the verses were perfect

i think it could of been better how you made the tabs look dude but pretty good i guess
