?Rough Draft? by Yellowcard
Tab by Jay Bartholomew
This song is kind of complicated because they use a lot of suspension chords. And with those they mess around with them too. The tab is accurate so follow it closely and listen to the song A LOT to get it. Also... let me know if you actually use this tab. It took a long time and I?d like to know if anyone even used it. My email is jaybar36@hotmail.com. Questions and stuff are welcome. Good luck!

E/A Dsus2
So you wrote it down I?m supposed to care
E Esus
Even though it?s never there
Dsus2*
Sorry if I?m not prepared
E/A Dsus2
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
E Esus
For me and all my thoughts of you
Dsus2*
It?s eating me alive to leave you

I?m writing my own words, my own little stage
E5 A5
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
C#5 D5
I?ll send you the rough draft, I?ll seal it with tears
E5 N.C.
Maybe you?ll read it and I?ll reappear
A5 C#5 D5
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
E5 A5
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
C#5 D5
Oh, I haven?t even sought to overcome this desire
E5 D Dm
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles
A E F#m D
And I don?t want to be, don?t want to be wro- -ong

You?re leaving me, you?re leaving me in lieu of this song
