[@ronin_amv5250]

Yup. Crazy right

[@theonenonlydavargo]

[@juxtaposedwizard4705]

And to this day sadly :( came back to cry to this gem tho

[@livia2770]

this is one of the best perfomances i’ve ever seen in my life

[@cantnv1]

They look like they are having the best time of their lives, genuinely rocking!

[@shpfask]

that drummer is so goddamn high off the vibes of this song

[@joschua1312]

I fucking love him he's always fucking killing it live

[@aah4735]

more henry stans NOW

[@venomfall]

As someone who's played with Henry, can confirm that he's just vibing all the time, super chill dude who just really gets into music

[@bobbysandiego]

:D

[@mexicancowboy]

this is the way

[@davidcadavid4207]

My god I love Gianni's technique and feel on bass. Switching it up between thumb, pick, and fingers with so much energy.

[@jacobheise3951]

Sounds even better than the recorded version which is rare.😍

[@johngregg6820]

Can we take a minute to appreciate how gorgeous that studio is? 10/10 would jam in.

[@TRICAD]

Ain't got a minute to spare. Sry

[@Workhardjerkhard]

jesus christ, what a solo.

[@FranekMag]

This song feels like someone showing you the city you're visiting for the first time and it's crazy and exciting but you're happy to come back home.

[@bleachbreath1305]

this actually made me cry these bois got talent

[@diosdadogalicha3127]

Just saw this on a stream and smh my head, this song is still my favorite. The singing is one of my favorite parts, those cracks in his voice just fits the emotional gravity from those guitars. PERFECT

[@community_elbow]

Fr, couldnt put it any better. Probably why most of my favorite songs arent even really singing, its just the vocalist trying to sing but getting carried away with the lyrics and the emotion of the song

[@fofnifolar]

he shreds so effortlessly omg

[@samuelrafanell8299]

Completely mad to see a 3 piece band sound EXACTLy like their records when playing live and you can tell its effortless for them. 10/10 performance.

[@arivukosa8138]

THIS IS ACTUALLY KY FAVORTIE VIDEO OF ALL TIME WHAT I WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY IN THE ROOM WHILE THEY PLAY

[@televendasmonteroraima7622]

'Cause I found out that you had done me wrong All along But I've made up my mind and I'm tired of feeling this way Oooh, babe So I'm down and I'm out and I'm done with being your slave Oooh, babe 'Cause I've done it before and I'm not gonna do it again You were my friend [Pre-Chorus] And I could never even see you And in my arms, my only the gift to you [Chorus] Since I found out that you had made me disgrave and disobey And I told ya baby I'm tired of lyin' to you And I'm not gonna make you feel this way (no way) [Verse 2] 'Cause I'm down on my knees and I'm tired of pleasin' You're never around when I call you, you're my love girl And I still never even see you And in my arms my only gift This is my only gift to you, baby Woo! (That's just so crazy) [Pre-Chorus] And I'm still never even seein' you But in my arms my only gift to you [Chorus] Since I found out that you had done me wrong All along And I told you, baby I'm tired of lyin' to you And I'm not gonna make you feel this way Oooh, oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh You child

i need the tabs or notes to this song

[@WollyMill]

I've been looking for ages. Here's a link to the chords but I need help with the solo.

[@WollyMill]

[@kennyp232]

WollyMill I am a complete beginner in debunking tabs, but if you still need help i am so down in working together to try to figure this masterpiece out

[@maartenvanthoff6999]

@@WollyMill I've recognized UltGuitar as a really basic place, however some of the stuff is really accurate. The only problem is that with less known songs (such as Slow Dance II) people often put very basic "open/zombie" chords. I can see if I can figure out more accurate chords and their notation through vid reference.

[@danielleaikohall]

Fuck it up thennn 😫

Anyone know the guitar tab to the into?....
