a tab for the entire song yet. So I taught it to myself and wish to share
it with you. Enjoy my darlings. <3 HIMfan817

Bridge #1:
(I'm not 100% sure of this part, but it still sounds okay)
*NOTE: the chorus before the bridge will not end with the G-chord,
instead it will end like the middle of the chorus with the E-
and D-chords.{the part above that's starred + underlined}
