Transcribed by: Adam Strachn
Tuning: D A D A D D (low to high)

Remember if you do not tune to the tuning I have 
listed above this song will not sound right.
I am in the process of tabbing out all the other 
Creed songs that are worng or not there. I tried to 
make it aseasy to read as I could.  The timing is not
exact either but just listen to the song and you'll get it.
In this tuning the two high strings (b & e are in unison of sounds)
