[THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING TAB SO PLEASE DO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WHILE VIEWING THIS.}
Listen to the original song to understand the strumming pattern and rhythm.
It's very similar to Basket Case's style so feel free to compare the two in order to incorporate it into
this piece.
I took a look at Nathan Drake's version of his tabs and added more to it. Please check his video out,

I feel like masturbating 'til my eyes pop out my skull! And I'm drinking 'til my blood turns into wine!
I crash my car into the river drowning out my soul! With a gun in my hand in case I don't die!

I’m still figuring it out And what the hell is my last name? I'm still figuring it out!

When I'm getting low, I only can get high! I need to feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins! It'll dilate the pupils in my eyes! [Chorus 2] (1:01 to 1:11) e|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|----6-------4-------------9\6/9--| D|----6-------4------7------9\8/9--| A|----4-------2------7------7\8/7--| REPEAT 2 TIMES E|-------------------5-------------|
Well, when the hell did I lose my brain?
I’m still figuring it out
And what the hell is my last name?
I'm still figuring it out!
