Tuning: Standard

Chords (Whole Song):

This song only uses A and D chords; each gets two whole measures, so:


A D
It only takes the time between here and there for landing in another place


This pattern persists for the whole song.

Melody Riff:

This is the melody played by the synth at the beginning of the song, but can be
fun to play along to.

A A D D
e|--------------|----------------|-------|---------|

Bridge Riff:

This plays right after the second chorus.
