It's in standard tuning, and it's pretty easy like all Blink songs, very few chords!

D5 - (x577xx)
E5 - (x799xx)

VERSE 2: (No guitar this verse, just bass)

She's getting kicked outta school, cause she's failing.

I'm kinda nervous cause I think all her friends hate me.

She's the one, she'll always be there.

She took my hand and that made it, I swear, cause..

Everything's better when she's around.

Just fade out to end the song. Remember to just keep playing the intro riff all the way
through the outro, I was just showing the chords, so you could see where to sing "with
the girl at the rock show" part. Pretty easy huh? If you have questions, or comments or
corrections or anything like that, email me at: weezer090@hotmail.com Thanks guys, later!
