This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This is my favorite song off the new Yellowcard album. This song jus kicks major ass.

Lyrics:

I gotta tell you that he waited all his life

For someone like you to come make the wrong things right

I know he didn't have the answers all the time

But you can't tell me that you never told a lie

Chorus-

We're almost twenty three and you're still mad at me

So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now

Twenty three and it's so sad to me

You tell the world I'm dead to you but I know you want me back now

Was it fun for you to watch him fall apart

And suffocate him while you held him in your arms

I swear to god I wish he never let you in

I just hope we never hear from you again

Chorus

Wasted on you, Wasted on you

Chorus
