-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learning To Love Again - Mat Kearney -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTES: Other versions of this tab were pretty close, but I'm a Mat Kearney nut and I'm also a perfectionist.
