bridge : ( fingerpick this part somehow , it sounds good just plucking the notes of
the powerchord for each chord , then gradually building up . )

Gm A# F C
i know that i was fine before ( fine before , fine before )

Gm A# F C
i know that i was fine before ( fine before , fine before )

Gm A# F C
i know that i was fine before ( fine before , fine before )
