          This song is played with
          ------------------------
   a capo on the 2nd fret.

          Here's the next 
radio-friendly hit from the BNL 
guys. Learn it now,
          and beat the rush!

          This is the intro riff, 
which most of the verse riffs are 
based on.
          The chords are E major and
 something that sounds like an 
A6sus2.
          Neat chord, oddly enough 
used in a similar context by Poison 
in the hit
          "Something to Believe In."
 But I digress.

          Here is the main riff 
tabbed out. It'll be referred to as 
Main Riff
          throughout,
          mainly because seeing 
A6sus2 written over and over will 
give you a headache.

          You kinda do it naturally 
anyway, but make the transition 
between the two
          chords
          a slide. Sounds nice.

          Throughout the rest of the
 songs, here are the voicings of the
 chords I'm
          using.
          These names aren't 
entirely correct, but deal with it, 
they're close enough.

          For the little chorus line
 (Feels just like I'm...) Ed does 
this little
          riff.
          We'll call it Riff 1.

          e----------------2---| 
          B----------------4---| 
          G----------------4---| 
          D----------------4---| 
          A----------------2---| 
          E----2--4--2--0------| 

          You can also use power 
chords for that to make it sound 
bigger. Your call.
          And you may have better 
luck with the full B chord as a 
power chord too.

          The other main guitar riff
 is the little alto part that pops 
up after the
          chorus lines
          every now and then. Here's
 a take on that one:
          This will be officially 
called Riff 2.

          e-----------------------
          B----------5---7--9--7--
          G----4~~~---------------
          D-----------------------
          A-----------------------
          E-----------------------

 |---|--------------------------| 
 |5--|----------5---7~~~~----5--| 
 |---|----4~~~------------------| 
 |---|--------------------------| 
 |---|--------------------------| 
 |---|--------------------------| 

          Now, that 9th fret note in
 the first measure sounds more like 
a full
          pre-bend
          at the 7th fret, but I 
can't remember how to notate that in
 TAB. Any band
          at
          the 7th fret should sound 
ok, or played as written above.
          Occassionally, the just 
play the second half of this. I 
notate when.
          Anyway, if you're playing 
this solo acoustic you won't be 
playing this
          anyway, so nevermind.
