While You're Waiting

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
		  While You're Waiting - Alkaline Trio
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tabbed this out by ear, pretty sure it's perfect.
Listen to the song for the rhythm, it's pretty easy to hear, and play.
Enjoy!
