HELP IS ON THE WAY - Sixx:A.M.

Tuning: Drop D (DADGBE)
This is one of my favourite songs by Sixx:A.M., I always wanted to play it but up until the past several
months I had trouble figuring out songs by ear. I've been getting better at it so I finally I felt able to
tab it out myself. There's some leads in this song hard to figure out but I think I'm 90% correct or so on
them. If not they at least work with the song. Enjoy
