Song: Crawling In The Dark
Band: Hoobastank
Tuning: Dropped D
This song is awesome, look out for Hoobastank's new album in the future.
I think it is coming out in November but I'm not sure.
I'm pretty sure this song is supposed to played in Standard Tuning
but I think it's easier to play in Dropped D so that's how I tabbed it.
It's just my second tab so take it easy if it sucks.
I've recently updated the intro so you will notice a difference. To all
of you who corrected me saying my intro was incorrect, I have no corrected
it to how it should be so thanks a lot. After watching their music video,
I've discovered that those who told me that this song should be played in
open E tuning are also correct. In the video, Dan is playing the song in
the open E tuning which is [E-B-E-G-B#-E] I think. In that tuning, Dan
plays high chords power chords higher on the neck (around 10th and 12th
frets) rather than putting the root on the A string, so my tab is not
perfect right and needs some corrections. Soon when my damn exams are
over I will tab out a version in that tuning, which should be the correct
way to play it. Thanks everyone for your corrections.

Lyrics:
I will dedicate
And sacrifice my every
Thing for just a second's worth
Before my story's ending
I wish I could know
The directions that I take
And all the choices that I make
Won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more
Than what I've been handed
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's okay to
Use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be
Ever coming suddenly
Will I ever get to see
The ending to my story
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more
Than what I've been handed
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer till I finally know?
Cuz I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more
Than what I've been handed
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
