Key: A major
BPM: 144
Tuning: Drop D
This is an amazing and emotional new song off of Against the Current's début record 'In Our Bones'.
I love this song and it's really easy to play! The bass and rhythm guitar are really just playing
root notes and power chords which allows for you to add some flavour to into in the transition between
chords if you want!
I play this in Drop D but can be easily played in standard.
The one trick to 100% nailing this song is to get that the lyrics in the verse come in on the "3"
in the A chord which means when you're done with the chorus at F#m you should start playing the A right then.
Thanks to zevaz815 for the improvment upon the lead!

A E D
Waited all night for you to come home

Watching the roses wither away
