This song doesn't have too many guitar parts, but alot of them are tricky, specifically the bends 
in the solo and outro. They're really quick so that and the opening riff makes this song one of 
their hardest to play along with Just Saying and Rejects. The bends in the final Chorus and outro 
may not be 100% accurate but they definitely work with the song. Enjoy! 

Guitar 1 - Michael Clifford 
Guitar 2 - Luke Hemmings 

/ or \ - slide to and from a note 
* - palm mute 
===3=== - triplet 
. - release (stop) note from ringing out after playing it 
b - bend note on the left of the 'b' so it sounds like the fret on the right of the 'b'
