Life After Death & Taxes (Failure II) - Relient K
Written by Matt Thiessen, 2004 Gotee Records 

This song has been tabbed twice, and not very accurately, so I'm going to tab
it right, using other people's corrections,because so many people have put up 
corrections, you can't even read it... I'm pretty confident in my tabbing 
skillZ, so I think this one should be good. Here it goes...
