This was a really tough song to tab but at the same time pretty easy, because there wasn't many parts to
tab, but there were parts that were low in the mix so they were hard to hear. It's one of my favourite 5SOS
songs, so I hope you like it too and hopefully you'll want to learn it as well! Enjoy
If you are confused on any of the parts and how to play them check out my guitar cover on youtube:
