Red_fiend - 2006-11-14

yes, RED is sweet
thats funny why would they want to do that
thanks dude. I hope they get put up

Switchfoot_ - 2007-01-14

heY DUDE,THE TUNNING ISN'T RIGHT.RELIEN K DOSN'T DO DROP C#.I HAVN'T TRIED THIS SONG YET,BUT IT LOOKS GOOD!

headbanger13 - 2007-02-27

Yes, Relient K does do drop C#. They normally play in standard a half step down, but for the heavier songs they drop the bottom to C#. I have the tab book, so I know.

Switchfoot_ - 2007-03-06

actually, i've seen them in concert. and i'm pretty shure it's not drop C#. The person who tabs the song for the songbook did not get it from Relient K, He tabbed it by ear, just like everyone here. besides, it is not in te right key (no ofence, whoever tabbed this, and it was a good try) I was tabbing it and i came out with this( I tabbed the verse, And pre-chorus. still havn't figured out the chorus. I also have the bridge, and the ending chords)

Tunning: half step down

Intro: C#m C A#m x2 F#m G#m C (slide down to A#m real fast after C) F#m (Slide down to F real fast after F#m)x2

Verse: A#m (then palm mute all the strings) then F#m A#m G#m F#m x2

Pre-chorus:C#m F#m C#m F#m Then A#m F#m x2 Then G#m A#m F#m

Bridge: F#m G#m A#m C#m F#m

Ending:F#m G#m C A#m

There You go. it sounds like the real thing.

5isakoolnumber - 2007-06-05

my names caleb too!!
sweet!

Oh!Gravity - 2007-08-20

Wow, sounds great. My band is thinking about doing this song as a cover, and this will definitely be the tab we use.
