Everything Back But You Chords & Tabs
Everything Back But You Tab
Artist:Avril Lavigne
Song:everything back but you
Album: The Best Damn Thing

This is a really cool song.I think its definately the best on the whole album. To get
right rhythm, you need to actually listen to the song and then you'll know how to play it.
