Not The American Average


Song: Not The American Average Artist: Asking Alexandria Album: Stand Up And Scream Tuning: Drop D This is the first song that I heard by Asking Alexandria, and I fell in love with it. I listened to it for about four and a half hours trying to tab this. I'm pretty sure this is correct, so enjoy!
