Teenage Dream // 5 Seconds of Summer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! This is my take on the Teenage Dream cover that 5SOS perform live, it shouldn't
be too hard to play acoustically either. I've tried to make it as basic as possible,
so it is in standard tuning, no need to worry about tuning to drop D or anything.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

B|------------------------------------------8-7-5----| ( This part is optional. Michael plays this
G|------6-7-6-----5-6-6-5-5-----6-7-6-7-7-7-------7--| 4x in the LIVESOS version of the song, whether
D|--5-5-------7-7-----------9-9----------------------| or not you play it is completely up to you. )
