This is for one of LIGHTS’ songs that haven’t been released but she played it in
one of her video blogs. I absolutely fell in love with it and I decided that I had
to learn how to play it so I gave it a shot. The song is a pretty simple one, it
has five basic chords + a few odd ones in the outro. It's my first time tabbing
out a song by ear/watching her video so please leave me feedback! Thanks :)
