(BEGIN TAB)

I've really been missing some tab for this awesome song, so 
I just went ahead and did it myself. Here you go people, enjoy!
I chose intermediate as difficulty because of the speedy folk 
strumming pattern. Took me a while to get used to. 
Other than that the song is actually really easy to play.

Capo 4 (Standard tuning)

Intro: G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G

G (320003@1)                                              Dsus2 (xx0230@1) I spent the last few years really struggling yeah
From fighting urges and just screaming through
        CAll (x32010@1)the friendships and the fuckups
        Em (022000@1)        G (320003@1)     CAnd (x32010@1)the nights that got away from us

G (320003@1)                                          Dsus2 (xx0230@1) So I lined up a bottle for each question asked
I closed a chapter on a city that contained most
    CAnd (x32010@1)landed in some outer borough
        Em (022000@1)          G (320003@1)            CWhere (x32010@1)I picked up the keys from your neighbor next door

G (320003@1)                                                       Dsus2 (xx0230@1) You may have been bounced around yourself now once or twice
You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night
    CBut (x32010@1)oh! I remind you of a place you come from
            Em (022000@1)     G (320003@1)              CI (x32010@1)said, you probably should take more pride in that

Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)         C (x32010@1)   And I see how we drifted apart
Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)                         C (x32010@1)              Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)  I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk
                           CYou've (x32010@1)been a good friend,    darling
         G (320003@1)        CBut (x32010@1)just not a lover yet

G (320003@1)                                              Dsus2 (xx0230@1)  So we spent the best years painting pictures of
The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from
    CBut (x32010@1)oh, the things I could've said to you then
           Em (022000@1)         G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)     
If I'd the man speaking for the boy I was back then

G (320003@1) Those were last words I said when I was 17
Dsus2
I    look at you now and I think,
                 COh (x32010@1)my God, I'm about as together and with it
                Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)     Cand (x32010@1)clever as I ever was back then

But I see how we drifted apart
I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk
You've been a good friend, darling
But just not a lover yet
     Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)  Em (022000@1)  C (x32010@1)                Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)But old----  bones hold in place these dates
         Em (022000@1)  C (x32010@1)              Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)           
 Old---- bones carry me where I am
