---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calling Dead by April ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Dead by April has been an influence for me since I started playing. They got a great style, and have a very unique writing technique. This song, along with its music video, really speaks to me, and I needed to learn it. I hope this tab helps you learn it. Enjoy!
