This is a song that is quite complex. And I don't know every part of it, I'll try to
it down by using the abbreviations I did for 'Running Away' by Delta Goodrem.
This the chord part only, I'm not savvy with tabs, but I'll have a crack at it later.
But this song could've been a perfect alternative theme song for 'Vernoica Mars', even
when Delta was writing it, she was analyzing herself.
