* I'm leaving it up to you to incorporate the chords of this song into the
rythm. It's not hard. The song is fairly easy and comes in parts:

Part 1: (Verse)

    D           A/C#                B-                 A

E---2------------0------------------0------------------0---------------------|
B---3------------2------------------0------------------2---------------------|
G---2------------2------------------4------------------2---------------------|
D---0------------2------------------4------------------2---------------------|
A---0------------3------------------2------------------0---------------------|
E---0------------0------------------0------------------0---------------------|


* When Adam starts to sing it's the same verse(part 1) just more quiet.


Part 2: (Bridge)

*Hit the bass line of these two chords lightly and then pick through the
last three notes. The B- and the G in the bridge is played twice before the
chorus comes in, the rest is only played once.
