How was this arrangement?
Your rating helps other players find the best arrangements
What kills me is how passive and sweet the song sounds then you read the lyrics and it’s like ?oh
this is so much fun to play!! i would recommend replacing A9 with Em6 though. sounds a lot better and its super easy to switch to from A7. thanks for this tab!

Ok it honestly took me forever to figure out what this song was actually about
i was singing and playing this song in my bedroom with my eyes closed and when it was over i opened my eyes and my family was in my room looking at me like they had to run away from home-
is that a problem?
This song is really easy to be in a level 5 rating… I’m proud of myself for play this only 2 months in!
Personally, I prefer -5 but this is a great arrangement! Spotify recommended this song to me recently as I love the doo-wop and indie-pop genres and I loved it instantly!! Dark humor is best humor haha 🙂
i like this comment section lol
oh yeah em6 is much better
This is such a BRILLIANT song idea
YES YES YES YES YES
THIS SONG IS AMAZING-
Anyone have strumming pattern?
just so you know, you can play a dm instead of a dm7! i always have trouble playing the dm7 so i just changed it and a dm works perfectly too! i don’t know if anyone’s said this already but i thought i might as well put that out there. =)
