Seven Years [Acoustic] - Saosin
(Lyrics at bottom)
Version three of this tab (the one rated five stars) sounds pretty spot on, but if you
listen to the song, the higher notes are played on a higher string, not on the second
bass string. This version is correct, play along while listening to the song and you'll
see :)
This is my first tab, so not too harsh if the format seems whack!
Tuning is Drop D
(Use your pointer finger to hold down the first fret on B string and your pinky to hold
down the third fret on the higher D string)

Well, that's my take, and it sounds good to me, almost perfect except maybe for the
fast picking part. Enjoy! Comments/criticism welcome!
Lyrics:
Taking on seven years
The holy ghost had left alone
Test my arms, kick like crazy
And I've been trying way too long
Only push the way off to fight you
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure
Getting off my chest
The story ends
I would find a way without you
I would find a way without you
That mistake was gold
I know that without you
It's something that I could never do
That was right
Staple the eyes and
Seven dates for me to sell machines
And tear on
Seven years you assured me
That I'd be fine if I complied
Only push the way off to fight you
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure
Getting off my chest
The story ends
Without you
I would find a way without you
That mistake was gold
I know that without you
It's something that I could never ever ever ever...
That was right
Staple the eyes and
Seven dates for me to sell machines
And tear on
Don't treat me I'm to blame
Dont treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me I'm to blame
Dont treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me I'm to blame
Dont treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me I'm to blame
Dont treat me like I ever accused you
