Retarded in Love - Say Anything
 
This song is the song that made me like Say Anything.  Took forever to tab though :(.
credits for lead in chorus go to NoSmokingBandit.
well, here it is in all its glory.
 
UPDATE - 9/27/08  Changed around alot of stuff (mainly pre-chorus/bridge)
                  should be a million times better, again thanks to
                  NoSmokingBandit for the lead in the chorus, you rock,
 
s = slide
h = hammer on
p = pull off
r = tied note
rb = return bend
v = vibrato

Theres pry some weird instrument in there
that you probably can't make sound exactly
the same on guitar, but I did my best.

This ones hard to hear, and I didn't wanna
have to lay down four guitars.  So I tried
to sum it up in this one.

Guitar 2:
 
Gets a bit more tricky,but still keeps the same basic idea.
It sorta turns into a solo almost, but without the solo part.

Thats about it!   All the strum patters and amt of notes your
supposed to hit is probably off, but other than that it sounded
pretty good to me!   enjoy!

I wanna say the chords for the ending bridge thing are Em, C, and Am two counts. He plays them in his unique chord style though. Good tab man.
