----------------------------------------------------------------------- Decode by Paramore Featured in the movie “Twilight” ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: The Crimson Dawn Edited in 2019 by Johnny Barrett This song is originally performed by Paramore in Drop Db, (Half a step down, and dropped 6th String). This tab is arranged for two guitarists to perform the song in Drop D. I found that none of the tabs I found online correctly represented the chords of the Rhythm Guitar. They are not simple bar power-chords; watching Paramore's live performances should confirm that the chords I have tabbed below are more accurate to how the song was written.

ever own what’s mine when you’re always taking sides Well, you won’t take away my pride, no not this time Not this time Chorus: How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well How did we get here I think I know The truth is hiding in your eyes and it’s hanging on your tongue Just boiling in my blood but you think that I can’t see What kind of man that you are, if you’re a man at all Well I will figure this one out on my own On my own (I’m screaming “I love you so… but my thoughts you can’t decode) Chorus Do you see what we’ve done? We’re gonna make such fools of ourselves Do you see what we’ve done? We’re gonna make such fools of ourselves How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well I think I know, I think I know There is something I see in you It might kill me, I want it to be true ************************************ | b Bend | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | ~ Vibrato ************************************
