 !This song is all my work!!
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This song is real hard so just get the progression and then play with the cd till you get it. The good part is its repeatitive. for the sake of the repeatitivness I'm gonna label it Riff 1 and Riff 2 because it breaks most rules of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-instumental-chorus on the musical level
 
Comes in at the middle of first verse
 
Riff 1

Okay here's the order:
 
Riff 1 - starts at middle of firsrt verse
Riff 2 - starts right after Riff1; repeat until beggining of verse 2  
Riff 1 - 2x Starts at begging of verse 2
Riff 2 - starts right after Riff1; repeat until beggining of verse 3  
Riff 1 - 2x Starts at begging of verse 3
Riff 2 - starts right after Riff1; repeat until fade out
