This song can be played in standard tuning or drop d as you don't play the low E string.
Don't look for timing on this tab either as I haven't put it in.
There are also two guitars in American Hi-Fi, and in this tab I'll just put down the
more major parts of the song as most of the second guitar is the same as the first with
more/less notes.

that's the whole song for you, lyrics below.
I don't need to know why
cause tomorrow I'll be fine
I should learn to be still
if I close my eyes
I'd realise what you meant
CHORUS
Don't wait for the sun
it could turn black any day
I lost my head in the clouds
when will this haze go away?
I never wanted this
Now it's all I've got
someone else is keeping time
I think I'm falling apart
if you were me
would you do it like I do?
Chorus
Solo
Don't wait for the sun
it could turn black any day
I lost my head in the clouds
when will this haze go away?
so don't wait for the sun
Don't wait for the sun
Don't wait for the sun
Cause it could turn black any day
You're all that I wanted
