Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard


The song is pretty straight-forward and without much variation. I showed cues for
Verse 1 and chorus lyrics by placing the first letter of each lyric above
it's appropriate location in the beat. There is a little bit of variation in
the 2nd verse, but I don't really feel like going through and tabbing it all out
and I'm sure you don't want to read miles of tab to see a muting rhythm
you probably could have figure out yourself. If there's something in particular
in the 2nd verse that you want to play that I didn't tab out LET ME KNOW and I'll
tab out the 2nd verse for you.

Two quick things. It's difficult to tell what's going on in the Am to Bm transition
at 0:12, 0:33, 0:53 etc. It sounds like there's some type of modulation going on.
You can hear a dip in the sound. Finally, the beat quickens after the 1st chorus.
Throughout the entire song Pat plays a beat at ~90 bpm, switching between the snare
and cymbal. After the first chorus, the beat is split, which is evident in the
faster strumming Dan does. Listen at closely at 1:22 & 1:33 to hear this strumming.

Last thing. If you're having technical difficulties, here's how I play the main riff:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

B|-7---7-----7---5---5---7-----7---|

1.) Barred with ring finger. Arpeggiated with thumb.
2.) Fretted with pointer. Picked with middle.
3.) Barre three bottom strings with ring finger again. Sweep up with pointer.
4.) Fretted with ring. Picked with thumb.
5.) Barred with ring. Strummed with thumb.
6-7.) Barre bottom two strings with pointer. Fret G string with middle. Strummed with thumb.
8-9.) Barre with pointer. Strum with thumb.

If it doesn't sound right, try playing softer.

Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review. PLEASE DON'T RATE THE TAB LESS THAN 5/5 UNLESS YOU
CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.


Key:
where # represents a fret number

/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
x - mute
- time keeper. if you played a steady
baseline, you'd see the notes are
displayed in the tab in the correct
chronological order.

Verse 1:
In the dead of the night I start to lose control
But I still carry the weight like I've always done before
It gets so heavy at times but what more can I do
I gotta stay on track just like Pops told me to.

Chorus:
I really don't think you know
This could be Hell
Below
Below
I really do hope you know
This could be hell
Below
Below

Verse 2:
When the music is done and all the lights are low
I will remember the times when love would really glow
If I could trade my happy for my world turned blue
Then the light inside would only shine for you

Chorus: x2
I really don't think you know
That could be Hell
Below
Below
I really do hope you know
That could be hell
Below
Below
