(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: G5 D5 G5 D5 G5 D5 G5

G5                                                D5
  I spent the last few years really struggling yeah
From fighting urges and just screaming through
        C5
All the friendships and the fuckups
        E5          G5       C5
And the nights that got away from us

G5                                            D5
  So I lined up a bottle for each question asked
I closed a chapter on a city that contained most
    C5
And landed in some outer borough
        E5            G5              C5
Where I picked up the keys from your neighbor next door

G5                                                         D5
  You may have been bounced around yourself now once or twice
You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night
    C5
But oh! I remind you of a place you come from
            E5       G5                C5
I said, you probably should take more pride in that

F5           C5 
   And I see how we drifted apart
F5                           C5                F5
   I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk
                           C5
You've been a good friend,    darling
         G5          C5
But just not a lover yet


G5                                                D5
   So we spent the best years painting pictures of
The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from
    C5
But oh, the things I could've said to you then
           E5           G5            C5       
If I'd the man speaking for the boy I was back then

G5
  Those were last words I said when I was 17
D5
I    look at you now and I think,
                 C5
Oh my God, I'm about as together and with it
                E5   G5       C5
and clever as I ever was back then

Fill:  C5 C5 C5 C5 

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
     F5    E5    C5                  F5
 But old----  bones hold in place these dates
         E5    C5                F5             
 Old---- bones carry me where I am
