Repeat 2nd Verse: I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes
That make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be
May a sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe
That you were meant for me

I think that's everything. I might have forgotten some 2nd guitar parts or
messed up a little bit but it's really hard to hear.

YELLOWCARD ROCKS!
===============================================================================
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official YELLOWCARD tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
