I FOUND THIS TAB ON THE FORUMS IN THESTARTINGLINEROCK.COM AND DECIDED TO PUT IT ON 
HERE

The Starting Line- Lasting Impression 
Tabbed by Nate Stewart 

This is played in a slightly alternate tuning: (low to high) E,A,D,Gb,B,B. All you have to do is tune the 
G string down a half step and the high E string down to match the B string. 

Intro: The intro is played on 2 guitars. I figured out the part for the guitar that’s played higher because 
I though that would be more recognizable. 

Guitar 1 
B--------------16--------16-------------16--------16------- 
B------------0----0----0----0---------0----0----0---------

Guitar 2: (If you’re playing this by yourself it might sound better to play this part rather than the 1st 
guitar riff.) 
B------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A--9-9-9----9-9-9-----2-2-2----2-2-2-----6-6-6----6-6-6----4-4-4-----4-4-4

Chorus- Chords strummed at rhythm 
“I’ve been sleeping with the light on…” 
B--0--0--0---x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0----------------- 
B--0--0--0---x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0----------------- 
G--0--0--0---x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0-x-0-0-----------------	Repeat through 
D--9--2--6---x-4-4-x-6-6-x-2-2-x-2-2-----------------	twice for each 
A--9--2--6---x-4-4-x-6-6-x-2-2-x-2-2-----------------	chorus. 
E--7--0--4---x-2-2-x-4-4-x-0-0-x-0-0----------------- 



Interlude #2- Could be strummed as chords or picked, both sound good 
B---0----0----0----0---------------------- 
B---0----0----0----0---------------------- 
G---0----0----0----0---------------------- 
D---6----4----6----2---------------------- 
A---x----x----4----2---------------------- 
E---4----2---------0---------------------- 

Verse 2- Played the virtually the same as Verse 1 except these sounds like more of an addition to the 
3rd chord. For this verse play the chord 
B----0-------------------------------- 
B----0-------------------------------- 
G----9-------------------------------- 
D----9-------------------------------- 
A----7-------------------------------- 
E----9-------------------------------- 
It’s a subtle difference but that’s just how it sounds to me. 

Bridge- When the bridge ends quickly go into the chorus to finish. 
B---0----0----0----0----0----------------- 
B---0----0----0----0----0----------------- 
G---0----0----0----9----0----------------- 
D---2----6----2----9----7---------------- 
A---2----6----2----7----7----------------- 
E---0----4----0----9----5-----------------
