SONG: TIME IS RUNNING OUT
ARTIST: MUSE
ALBUM: ABSOLUTION
TUNING: STANDARD
Ive seen other tabs for this on the net, but all the other ones arent really
100% accurate to the studio recording and are really long and awkward to print
off. This one should be more accurate and easier to use.
No guitar in intro or verse, only bass plays.
PRE-CHORUS
And bury it...
