This will be tab number 3 this year after Bayside's Popular Science and PBC's Living
Saints. I really gotta stop doing this lest my schoolwork start suffering. (More so than it
already is)
These guys sure knew how to start another awesome album. There are a lot of little licks
and harmonies that they throw in there. I'll try and call 'em out as we go but I don't
think I'm gonna pick everything out. Just enough to get mad rockin' on this damn sweet
track. So without further adieu...
Freetime; nice and mellow.
Use your fretting fingers to mute the surrounding strings like a boss.

"The yel- low line..."
Start adding in the lower E after a few times.

Add this little fill every 3rd time you play this thing.
(it's 4 times before it changes.)

Like I mentioned above, after four times, play this.

I'm still unsure about the third chord in there…
Alright, now play that first riff again four times,
Remember to add that hammer-on during the third time,
And when you hit the fourth, add this:

Strum that last E5 chord a few more times before changing it up.
Then:
"...a little more lasting than shame"

Oh yeah! Now let that shit feedback and get ready to punch it.
You'll need multiple guitars for the full effect..
"OH!" B5 F#5

Feel free add in the E octave a fret up from that Eb on the A string.
Second time: B5 E5

Now do a heart-rockin' guitar solo!
Continue playing that sweet riff underneath.
(I'll tab a little harmony for those playing it solo.)

End with this:
There's probably another guitar in there playing a
straight-up E5 chord too.

There you have it!
Wicked awesome song and one great new album from one of my favourite bands.
I've already got my tickets to see them in October and I can't hardly wait.
Thanks again for reading and rocking along.
Yours truly,
Jason
And just cause it leads into the next song...

Next time around play a F#5 instead of the E.
Then kick it.
PBC rules.
