The High Road - Tab

Tuning: Standard

Note: I know this is really basic and isn't exactly like
the song, but I think it's the best way to play it in
standard tuning.  I know the F# power chord before the end of
the first and second verses is higher than it is in the song,
and that's just because it's not in dropped B tuning like the
song is actually played in.  I think it still sounds nice
however.

[Verse 1]
I told you I was hurt...
bleeding on the inside...
