This is a great song by the sounds, and I wanted to share it with all of you guys.
Key of C#
In the beginning of the song, you can hear that they are deadening and then un-deadening
hit the note. I marked the parts where they deaden with the x's. In the intro and the
of verse 1, they are doing up and down strums. So the strumming pattern would be
DUDUDUD then it repeats.

Verse 1: this is played exactly the same as the intro. The guitar doesn’t switch chords
the synthesizer thing does.

Then the song does the verse one time instrumentally and then she starts to sing. Verse
is played just like verse 2. Then they play the interlude before the chorus again and
do the chorus 3x. Then they have a little solo part
