[Verse 1]
Sometimes he picks the verse notes from the chord a little bit instead of hitting the entire chord as shown.
You’ll have to listen and find your own groove here. G2 cuts out so the singer can focus on the verse.
If you watch the video you’ll see the singer swings his guitar off to the side.
Mama, fight my teenage dreams…
