This tab is more an interpretation of how Oliver plays it live rather than the
'As If To Say I Hate Daylight' studio version, hope you enjoy it

(This part is a bit sketchy, tremolo pick the first shape for 4 beats and the last two for 2 each.
Heavy reverb or delay will help with the hazy sound)
D Riff 1
The world was bright living in the sunlight
D Riff 2
and it washed me white when I loomed upon my own heights
D Riff 1
do we write down our love and read it back to ourselves?
D Riff 2
or do we wake up with nothing else to retell
D A
do I spill my chloroform from out my thighs
G
and start to hear the buzzing flies
A
and waft around the room at night
G
with bruises growing through my insides
A
and dripping flesh down through my thighs
G
I take a breath with empty mind
A
and see you there with empty eyes
G
and eat you up with empty insides
A Riff 1
but through the hollow stinking bones there shines... sunlight
(Acapella)
Bravery is not
showing off the arms I've got
or staring at the sun
?til my eyes fall out my front
it?s reaching out my hand
without a light to guide me in
in eighty years we die
and twenty of them passed us by
