Hello everybody, It's not so easy to find a tab for this song,
So I thought I'd just make a refined version for ya'll. I built
This tab off of a bunch of stuff I got off of Dashtabs.com, It's
pretty damned accurate, and if you wonder why I said to tune the
guitar half a step flat, even though It uses a capo, It's because
Our Friend Chris Carrabba tunes it that way! You can keep it
standard and just put the capo on 3 if you want!!
Tuning 1/2 Step flat (EbAbDbGbBbeb)
Capo 4*
*all numbers are relative to capo, duh!

Here are the Lyrics
Verse 1
Ive been bleeding well from this old wound
Cleaning it with salt, so it will still feel new
Sometimes eyes turn black, and sometimes scars are tracks
But every time that youre gone I wish that youd come back
Chorus
And everyone watched me waste myself
And everyone cheered at last
And all of them found it comforting
Its better its me then them.
Verse 2
I think Im doing well from what they say
Theyve taken both my belt and shoelaces away
Well I believe in luck, I think I do
Well I believe for sure, If ever I see you
Verse 3
Ive been fanning flames from these old coals
Feeding them with tender, And hoping they will grow
And Ive been savoring what I cant hold
A blind belief in goodness, that doesnt seem to show
Outro
But Ive been bleeding well
From this old wound
Cleaning it with salt,
So it will still feel new
