Hey everyone. Tonight Alive are one of my favourite bands and i wanted to put this tab
up. I learnt most of it by ear and by watching some live performances on youtube, I hope
its mostly correct, this is my first full song tab so don't be too mean please :) any
corrections or suggestions are more than welcome.
Drop C# tuning. There whole new album is in this tuning :P (low to high)

With the verse these are the right chords but i think whakaio picks the strings so just
fiddle around with it but just keep the chords the same :P
