Song: "What Do You Want From Me"
Band: Forever The Sickest Kids
Album: The Weekend: Friday
Tuning: Standard, no capo
Great song, awesome band.
NOTE: I've only figured out part of the lead in the chorus. There's more lead guitar in
but I haven't figured it all out. But since there weren't many tabs of this, I thought
post what I have figured out. Hope it helps, comment and rate :)
