artist- good charlotte
song - it wasn't enough
album - the chronicles of life and death
tabber- thenimrod
this is one of my favourite gc songs.
because of it hasn't been tabbed yet, i sat down and tried to figure it out.
this is my version of the song,
it's not perfect but it's okay and it sounds very right to me.
