This is a pretty cool song that I heard on the radio today, so I decided I would tab it out.
I like this band since I heard "Crawling in the Dark" .. but anyways.. this song is played
in Drop-D tuning, just drop your low-E string to D so your new tuning from low-to-high is
(D-A-D-G-B-e) .. there's 2 guitars in this song, i'll indicate where. have fun!

VERSE 2:  (Play like Verse 1 but with light distortion)

I did enough, to show you that I
was willing to give and sacrafice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
When I get close you turn away, 
Nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I would do that for you..


CHORUS:  (Play just like first chorus)

So why are you running awayyyyy
So why are you running awayyyyy...

Just end on that last G5 and let it ring and fade out the song.. And you're done!
First time I've put some real work into a tab in about a month or so, I've been real busy
working and stuff.  But this is a good song, I'm sure it's correct, but if you have
any question, etc, email me at:  weezer090@hotmail.com .. later guys!
