Relative to capo on 1st
This is a very rough outline of the song, Elliott will always play it much better 
than i ever could.

Intro/Verse:
    C (x32010@1)        F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)             D9/F#  Ge|----0----000-------0-00---0-----------0--00--------| (320003@1)B|------1--111-------1-11-----1-1-1-----1--11--0--00-|
G|--------0000----0h2--00----------0-0--2--22--0--00-|
D|---------222-3-3-----22-----------2---0--00--0--00-|
A|--3-3----333---------33-3-3--3-33------------2-0h2-|
E|-------------------------------------2-0h2--3------|

C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)   C (x32010@1)     G (320003@1)       Ce|----0---0-------00--0-00-0---------------0000-| (x32010@1)B|------1---1-----11--1-11--1-1------------1111-|
G|------------0-0-220h2-00---0-------------0000-|
D|-------------2--333---22-------0---0------222-|
A|--3-3--3-33-----------3333------0h2-0h2-3-333-|
E|------------------------------3---------------|

For chorus: "i haven't wanted to do anything..."
sub an Am for the first C and play like the verse after that.

You can play the solo similarly to intro/verse, but after the 1st G, Elliott plays:

e|--3--1---00-00000-----00-0---0--------------0-|
B|---1--1-----11111-----11-1-----1-1----------1-|
G|----0--0----00000--0h2-2-0------------------0-|
D|------------20h22-3----3-2------------0h2p0-2-|
A|--3--3---33-33333--------3-3-3--3--2-0h2---33-|
E|-----------------------------------3----------|

End on:
C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)                F (133211@1)   CWhat (x32010@1)are you doin' hangin' out with me----e?

Like i said, Elliott plays around with the finger-picking and this isn't exact, 
but should get you close.
