?Rough Draft? by Yellowcard
Tab by Jay Bartholomew

This song is kind of complicated because they use a lot of suspension chords.  And with those they mess around with them too.  The tab is accurate so follow it closely and listen to the song A LOT to get it.  Also... let me know if you actually use this tab.  It took a long time and I?d like to know if anyone even used it.  My email is jaybar36@hotmail.com.  Questions and stuff are welcome.  Good luck!

So you wrote it down I?m supposed to care

Even though it?s never there
             Dsus2*
Sorry if I?m not prepared

E/A                              Dsus2
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
                  E           Esus
For me and all my thoughts of you
                Dsus2*
It?s eating me alive to leave you

I?m breathing in your skin tonight
            E       Esus
Quiet is my loudest cry

Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me

A5             C#5                      D5
I?m writing my own words, my own little stage
            E5                     A5
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
                  C#5                            D5
I?ll send you the rough draft, I?ll seal it with tears
             E5                   N.C.
Maybe you?ll read it and I?ll reappear
A5                    C#5                      D5
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
                   E5                            A5
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
                   C#5                       D5
Oh, I haven?t even sought to overcome this desire
              E5                          D      Dm
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles

      A                 E                F#m   D
And I don?t want to be, don?t want to be wro- -ong
A              E                  Dsus2
You?re leaving me, you?re leaving me in lieu of this song
A                 E                F#m   D
Don?t want to be, don?t want to be wro- -ong
A              E                  Dsus2
You?re leaving me, you?re leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this song


A             E             F#m  D
Like Saturday night I?ll be go- -one
A             E             F#m  D
Like Saturday night I?ll be go- -one
A             E             F#m  D

A             E             Dm(V)           Ddim7           A
Like Saturday night I?ll be gone before you knew that I was there
