This tab was only made possible due to Tim. You can find his YouTube channel and guitar lesson on this Go thank him and support him. I recommend seeing the video to see minor nuances of the song and hand positioning. This tab isn't 100% complete, more like 75% but it sounds close. Please let me know if there's anything to contribute, wrong (or in error).

"Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm It's consciously held back in you You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you So let me remind you of this It's the reason your troubles exist" [VERSE 3] x2 "If ever a time comes around in the wheel To replace where we stand side by side We'll be ready and able to fly Away from the mire And the senseless decisions of somebody's wasted desire Through the smoke and the wind and the fire" [CHORUS] x2 (1,2,3,4) (1,2) Bm Full hold, C full hold, G half, D/Dsus2 half, C fullhold.

[CHORUS 1, 3, and 4] "Spring lied to us this year again I can't stand to face the fear again But you could always laugh about those things It's enough to make a man feel sour Burning minutes every day by the hour Just to end up gone like everything else" After the first chorus, the chorus goes in a blue grass strumming -> d-d-dud-d-d-dud" [CHORUS 2] "- - - It's enough to make a man stay humble Every day is just a new chance to stumble -" Bridge Transition on the final chorus, final C chord before bridge / solo.
