Have been looking everywhere along time ago to find the bass of this song beautiful song. 

Unfortunately, all the bass tabs of it were inaccurate or just indicate the root of the 
guitar note. By right if one were to listen to the song very carefully, the bass line is 
much more beautiful and emotionally played than just single strokes of root notes of 
chords. Also many confuse Mark Tremonti's guitar bass strings plucking as the bass 
line itself. So I decided one night to tab it out myself. This is my first tab, but it's 
my first of a song that I'm so in love with and it's embedded deep within my head, the tune, 
every single detail of it. So count this tab as good as perfect. Just remember, play it 
with feeling. It's full of slides and ringing notes. Lastly enjoy and tell me what you 
think of it. Questions are welcome as well. 
Thanks!~


Notes:

Verse – play with feeling. Listen to the song carefully for notes.


Bridge – Listen to song CAREFULLY for placement.

Violins/Clean Chorus – Just listen to the song for duration of notes.

Try to get a good speaker system or good headphones and crack up the BASS knob of the player 
until  you can distictly distinguish between Mart Tremonti's guitar bass string sounds 
and the REAL BASS Guitar sound in the background.


Verse– (1st verse clean. After 1st clean chorus, drums enter and BASS Guitar 
starts into 2nd verse)
