Thats it. It really isn't hard to play. Practice it, and
go through it properly. You must listen to the tempo etc
to get it, i've tried to kind of set the tempo, but
there's only so much you can do in tab.

No Picture Link Floyd Wanna Be	#1 by Link Floyd at Jan 11, 1982 at 6:27 PM EST
	ill agree with yaz bout what the song's about, makes too much sense, and to bmx, askin fer suggestions, i just got in a relationship...its not somethin you TRY to do...just be urself and hang with cool ppl...im farf rom bein a goodlookin guy but it really dont matter...some girls (maybe most, i dunno) have a lot of good in 'em

No Picture steven Average	#2 by steven shunnarah at May 30, 1985 at 1:54 PM EST
	bmxpunk i know how ya feel in a way except i get a chance and they jsut treat me like shit and use me for whatever reason and cheat on me girls are evil but there are a few out there that arent i guess this song just reminds you of the kind of person that you are ya know

No Picture Jake Wanna Be	#3 by Jake Fugate at Aug 3, 1993 at 4:14 AM EST
	This song brings back the worse memories about the summer last year. There was this one girl that I had a crush on for like a year and I thought she would eventually see that I was more caring and sweeter than the guys she liked but she never came around. This song just rubs it in, even though Unwritten Law rawks

No Picture Blades Average	#4 by Blades at Sep 24, 2004 at 6:19 PM EST
	I think this song is about us nice guys that always get screwed over in the end, because we end up loving someone with everything in us, but that person doesnt appreciate that we'd do anything for her. And all we want is her to realize how much she means to us. But maybe its really those girls that screw themselves over in the end, so dont step on the nice guys!!!
