on the intro just use your thumb and index finger and play the fret on the very top and the very bottom of what you have and dont play the two frets in between trust me please thats right but other wise everythings perfect.

You do have to play the B string in the intro, thats what differs the intro from the verse.
afireinside4848afireinside4848 Unknown Date
the intro and verse notes are a beat like this 1,2/1,2/1,2/1,2,3





the notes are the same but thats the pattern,listen to it slower and its easy to spot

in the wrong place for time index 00:27 and subsequent sections. Look at blink182arecool's tab. Sounds much better
