This is my first tab, but I'll try and make it as good as possible. A few notes before
begin. You will see that I have Eb5 for a chord, I believe it is an Eb chord but I'm
sure the exact progression so if you have any input on that let me know. Secondly,
is an Ab chord but that can also be played, during the verse, as Absus or Ab4, play
you feel sounds better. And the Db in parenthesis is in parenthesis because it's not
used as a full chord just as a passing tone between the other two. So play it
lightly and quickly.

Verse 2 (same chord progression as first verse
I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes that she had loved
If I were her I'd paint my body til all my skin was gone

she said she wont forget
And maybe I do, maybe I don't,
but I know I haven't yet
so here i am, well here i am wooo
