Taking Back Sunday - Great Romances of the 20th Century

Amazing song. I'm pretty sure this tab is at least 95% correct, since I play it
all the time and it sounds pretty good. I didn't put how many times to play
each part so listen to the song for the rhythm and the number of times to play
each part. 


* - let ring 
> - strum 

intro (with guitar) 
G|-------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------------------------| 
A|-2*------2---------------------------| 
E|----------0*------2*------2-4---0*---| 

intro (when drums come in) (listen for rhythm) 
G|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------| 
D|-------4-2-1-2----2-4*---4-6--2---242--|-------4-2-1-2----2-4*---4-6--2-----| 
A|--2*-----------------------------------|--2*--------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------| 

1st verse (September never stays this cold...) 
G|------------------------| 
D|------------------------| 
A|-------------2>---------| 
E|--4>---0>----------2>---| 

2nd Verse (This won't mean a thing come tomorrow...) 
G|------|--------------------------| 
D|------|--------------------------| 
A|--2---|------------2>-------2----| 
E|---2--|--4>---0>--------2>---2---| 

3rd Verse (i guess?) "She said, c'mon c'mon..." 
G|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
E|--44--22--00--00--44--22--00--00---4>-2>-0>>---4>-2>-0>>---| 

next part 
G|--------------| 
D|--------------| 
A|--------------| 
E|--4>-2>-0>>---| 

Breakdown (?) 
G|-----------------| ------------------------------- It sorta sounds like 
D|---2*------------| --2*-----------1-2*------------ he adds a fill for this 
A|-----------2*----| ---------2*--24--------2*------ part. This is it if you 
E|-----------------| ------------------------------- want to play it. 

"I never said I'd take this lying down..." 
G|---------------------------| 
D|---------------------------| 
A|---------------------------| 
E|--444-222-444-222--42-0>>--| 

next part ("Then whats the point?...) 
G|-----------| 
D|-----------| 
A|-----------| 
E|--0*---0*--| 

Outro (?) ("I'm in your room...) 
G|--------------------------| 
D|--------------------------| 
A|--------------------------| 
E|---4>------2>-------0>>---| 

Last part 
G|----------------------------| 
D|----------------------------| 
A|----------------------------| 
E|--444-222-444-222--42--0*---| 

Ok. That should be it. Like I said before, just listen to the song for the
rhythm and how many times to play each part and whatnot. Questions or Comments
