So I have been wanting to learn how to play this song since it even came out and there
been no tabs whatsoever so I decided to tab this. Tabbed it out by ear after Nick and
finally played it acoustically live. Hope you like it. It's not perfect, but hey, it's
close to what Justin plays. So yeah, enjoy!
And by the way, if you're having some trouble understanding the strumming patterns and
chords to play, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIpgEWQT7GY. It's not
but you should get the gist of where things go after it.)
Intro:
(This part isn't actually needed because it's not in the song, but it's cool, hehe)
