I decided I wanted to do a tab so I transposed the piano part in the beginning so we can
play it.  It's a truly great song just like most of the other songs by The Fray.

i tabbed this song at like 2 in the morning so forgive me if im wrong.
when i was listening to the song to tab it, i think i picked up the harmony instead, so
me know if i did. it still goes well with the song anyways.

this song goes in a pattern, its just the verses and the chorus

im not going to write out the specific strumming but its basically:
down down up ; up down up
..simple enough
just listen to the damn song if u cant get it

ok, i saw the fray in concert in july when they toured with weezer and ben folds.  At
time, no one knew who they were.  Right now, still no one knows who they are.  Im out to
that, because they are really good and need to be heard.   Alright, the Fray arent even
on this site yet, so I decided just to do this little piano intro to get the train movin,
to speak...


it sounds like its in the key of Bb, so play around with picking the chords...

This is a pretty simple way of playing this song and duplicating the sound of the piano
a guitar. Once you get the main gist of it, it mostly repeats. The other tabs I've seen
really make too much sense or are fragmented so I hope everyone can enjoy this one.
