If you use this version, please e-mail me. It's nice to be
appreciated! :)

This song is originally for piano, bass, and drums but I
figured it out for guitar... It was actually really easy.
I'm not sure what the names for some of the chords are so
check the chord charts at the bottom for some of the weird
chord symbols that I used are (the ones with ^'s...). Any
corrections on lyrics or chords are welcome!!!
