Hey everyone,
I did my best to learn this by ear (since I couldn't find any place that had this tabbed already).
This is my first submission in a good long while so I hope it helps in any way possible.

Verse:
ThiC#s day feels anything but typical, I A#woke up choking on a miracle

Chorus:
Theres nowhere to rG#un,
When youre hF#iding from the C#truth,

When the F#pain is caused by C#you,
Its some kind of A#joke, some kind of F#joke

There's nowhere to G#run,
When youre F#hiding from the C#truth,
It's some kind of jG#oke,

Well there it is everyone! I'd like to give credit to Monica Kirby
and her fabulous Youtube video which had the piano rendition of this
song of which I listened to in order to help make this tab.
Also a thank you to Alyrics.com which helped me remember a word or
two that I forgot. And last but not least, a big shout out to AWOLNATION
for being an incredible source of inspiration to young musicians out there!
Keep doing what youre doing! We are all AWOLNATION!
