Running Away Bass

(ver. 1)
Hoobastank

Drop D tuning, 6/8 time. listen to the song to get the idea.
all he does during the verse is play the note on low D
and then play the same not on high D alternating at 
what seems random intervals.  The fills on the bridge
work, but parts of my tab are not exactly like the recording.  
This should give you something you can at least play along with
the whole song.  This is my first tab, so rhythm is probably wrongly tabbed.

Intro (twice) (plays quiet with acoustic, but there is bass on this part)
