SONG: TIME IS RUNNING OUT
ARTIST: MUSE
ALBUM: ABSOLUTION

TUNING: STANDARD

I’ve seen other tabs for this on the net, but all the other ones aren’t 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.
