This is a good song for the most part. I don't "love" the Backstreet Boys but some of their music is okay. I fit the tab to a normal sized piece of paper in size 9 Courier New. Any gripes, complaints, or even complements, send to: guitarguy69@yahoo.com. Note: Verse 2 and 2nd Verse are different things, just like Post-Chorus 2 and 2nd Post-Chorus. Notation at very bottom.
