Comments: Woot! Looks like I'll put up the first tab for this song! This is the date
BLG released the single on their Myspace. It's not 100% correct (I didn't put in the
guitar part during the chorus, sorry), but when I played the rhythm guitar part, it
fine. This is only my second tab, so it wil be somewhat confusing. Just try to listen
the parts in the song and match it up with the lyrics to get the rhythm. Enjoy!
P.S: I have a video of me covering it, though I didn't base it completely off this tab.
that the link may be broken in the near future.

Key:
h = hammer-on
PM = palm mute
x = mute
~ = hold note
\ = slide down
****************************************************************************
TUNING: Drop D with a capo on the first fret. It's completely optional, but you may
it to play the open D# during the chorus. If you don't have a capo, simply bar your finger
the first fret wherever you see open chords. For the final chorus, bar your finger on
third fret.

Paul could be playing harmonics on the D#s/Ebs here. I'm not sure. Not sure about the

***During John's drum fill, move your capo up to the third fret (a whole step) if you
one. Otherwise, bar your finger on the third fret every time you see an open chord in the
chorus.***

Lyrics:
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue (Taste it on my tongue)
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you oh so bad it hurts
But girl, in case you haven't heard
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm hungover
I love you forever
Forever is over
We used to kiss all night
Now it's just a barfight
So just call me crazy
Say hello then goodbye (Okay!)
There's just one thing (Okay!)
That would make me say
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm hungover
I love you forever
But now it's over
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hhey!)
Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning on a roller coaster ride
With the world stuck in black and white
You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a rush
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm hungover
I love you forever
Forever is over
We used to kiss all night
Now it's just a barfight
So just call me crazy
Say hello then goodbye (Okay!)
There's just one thing (Okay!)
That would make me say
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm hungover
I love you forever
But now it's over
All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
I'm checking into rehab
Cause everything that we had
Didn't mean a thing to you
I used to be love drunk
(But now I'm hungover)
I love you forever
But now I'm sober
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm hungover
I love you forever
Forever is over
We used to kiss all night
Now it's just a barfight
So just call me crazy
Say hello then goodbye (Okay!)
There's just one thing (Okay!)
That would make me say
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm hungover
I love you forever
But now it's over
(Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na)
(Now it's over)
(Still taste it on my tongue)
(Now it's over)....
