For a 6 String Guitar
Tuning - CGCGBE
I know that CGCGBE is a strange tuning, but i found that it worked much better to use this
tuning on a 6 string guitar for this song. It makes the chorus much easier to reach than
if it is in Drop C.
Please rate and comment this tab as it is my first tab!

Lyrics
Verse
Circling your, circling your, circling your head
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth I got a doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
I'll see you later
I see your fantasy you want to make a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads yeah, well now thats over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide
Chorus
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong
After Chorus
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away
Verse
Conclusions manifest
Your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of shit and that's alright
That's how you play I guess you get through every night
Well now that's over
I see your fantasy you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads, yeah
Well now thats over
I see your motives inside and your decision to hide
Chorus
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong (where you belong)
After Chorus
I can't give everything away (This is not where you belong)
I won't give everything away
Solo
I know, I know all about, I know, I know all about,
I know, I know all about, I know, I know all about,
your motives inside, and your decision to hide
Chorus
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong (where you belong)
This is not where you belong
After Chorus
I can't give everything away (This is not where you belong)
I won't give everything away (This is not where you belong)
This is not where you belong
