                             DCE PTION FDE S - Rise Against
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Will Creary

EDIT: IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION (I WASN'T THINKING WHEN I WROTE THIS) THAT THE 
IS BACKWARDS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STRING THE OPPOB TE WAY THEY AD , THEN THE TAB SHOULD BE 
SORRY ABOUT THAT, IT WAS MY FIRST TAB AND I WASN'T THINKING.

There wasn't a tab for this, so I decided to give mine. If you see any problems, email
If you wanna request another Rise Against song that doesn't have a tab already, or
have a good tab, email me. I'm always up for it.

Tuning: Drop D

(sorry about the spacing in the above. figure out the strum pattern for yourself, i
really put those 11s together easily)

play the intro twice through, except at the end of the intro the strumming of those
notes is different. listen to the cd to figure it out.

A time when life was not this hard,
blessed by this innocence, and...

I'm not your reason to stand up straight,
shoulders back, chest out, and eyes raised.
Stepping back, I hesitate.
I can't let myself be taken.

Insert palm mutes when necessary. Listen to the disk.

You can't change your mind and expect me to care,
you can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there.
Can't change your mind, expect me to care,
snap your fingers and expect me to be there.
Can't just change your mind.

*THIS IS WHED  THE PALM MUTING COMES IN*
Your reception fades, the signal's breaking up,
and am I moving on, or am I giving up.
If you walk away from this if anything
