Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert

Tuning: All guitars step down on all strings (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb)
Tempo:136 bpm
Intro- My intro is perfect, but I condensed it for paper space's sake. I say this
because I finally mangaged to get a copy of the first page of sheet music for this
song, from the actual book. It's played on acoustic on the CD, but in concert,
Relient K it cleanly on electric so there's no hassle of switching guitars, and
the clean to distortion switch can be made with a foot pedal. Email me if you have
questions or just wanna yell at me.
Intro:
Guitar 1: Listen for the rhythm because it's not exactly written perfectly. The
notes are perfect.

Guitar 1: Riff 1-Lasts two measures for each time thru, so a total of 8 measures.
This is where my sheet music ended(I only had the first page), so it might not be
perfect, but it's preeeetty close.

Chorus: (1:08) The chorus is piano, so here are the chords:
B E G# F#
But now I'm sunny with a high of seventy-five
D# E E F#
Since you took my heavy heart and made it light
B E G# F#
And it's funny how you find you enjoy your life
E F# B
When you're happy to be alive
(On the CD they're not really chords, mainly just one-note progressions. He does
do some fiddlin' around on the higher end of the scale with the keys, though.)
Here's the bass line during the chorus, just change notes with the piano.
Gb|---------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------|
Ab|--3---------------3-----------3~-|
Eb|----1-5-3-0-1-1-3---1-5-3-1-3----|
There's a section in between the chorus and the verse where Guitar 1 plays Riff 1
twice,
Guitar 2 has a different part.
Guitar 2:(1:22) This part lasts two measures.

Verse 2: (1:29) Both Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 play their Riff 1 part exactly the same
as beginning when they first came in after the acoustic, bass plays root notes and
a little fill here and there. The prechorus is a little different than before.

Chorus: (1:57) Once again, the chorus is piano. Once again, here are the chords:
B E G# F#
But now I'm sunny with a high of seventy-five
D# E E F#
Since you took my heavy heart and made it light
B E G# F#
And it's funny how you find you enjoy your life
E F# B
When you're happy to be alive
(REMEMBER:On the CD they're not really chords, mainly just one-note progressions.)
Here's the bass line during the chorus, change notes with the piano.

Eb|----1-5-3-0-1-1-3---1-5-3-1-3----|
Ok, last chorus (2:11) is pretty much all out with all guitars on one part. I can barely
a different part on top, so faint I can't even tab it out (maybe a variation to Riff 1
Guitar 1). It doesn't have to be played. So here's the final chorus:
