The new Real Friends record is terrific! The lyrical themes in each song are very relatable
and they seemed to have really stepped up the instrumentals for the full length. This is one of my
favorites so far; I'm gonna try to tab as much of the album as I can in the coming weeks so keep an
eye out.

Tuning: Half-step down
'=palm mute

Intro:
(lead)
e|-----------0~----3~----3~-------------0~----0~------------------------------|

A|---3------x--2------3------x--2------5~--5--5--5--5--|
E|-------------------------------------3~--2--2--2--2--|

Pre-chorus:

D|----------5--x6--------5--x6--------5--x6--7--x10---------------5--x8--|
A|---5--x4--3-----2--x4--3-----2--x4--3------5------2--x6--4--x6--3------|
E|---3------------0------------0--------------------0------2-------------|

Post-chorus (can't really figure out the lead here, sorry)
e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|-------5~---5~---7~--------5~----------------|
A|--2~---3~---2~---5~---2~---3~--xxxxxxxxxxxx--|
E|--0~------------------0~-------xxxxxxxxxxxx--|

Verse 2: lead:
e|--3------3------3------------------------------|
B|--3--x8--3--x3--3-----------this just repeats--|
G|--5------4------x--x10------------4 times------|
D|----------------5------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------|

rhythm:
e|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------|
D|--5-5-5~---4~--------5-5-5--(slide down)--|
A|--3-3-3~---2~---5~---3-3-3----------------|
E|----------------3~------------------------|

this next part I'm really unsure about but it kinda sounds close?
e|------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------all-x2--|
D|------5---5h7------5---5------5---5h7------5---5------------|
A|-3333-- 3-----3333---3--------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------3333---3-----3333---3--------------|
   '''' ' ' ' ' '''' ' ' ' ''''   ' ' ' '''' ' ' '

Chorus 2 is the same as the first. Just start doing all downstrokes on the last chord right before the bridge

Bridge:
lead:
e|-------3~---5~---3~---0~--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------3~-------------3~------all-x2--------------------------------------------------|
G|--2/4--4~-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

rhythm (all downstrokes):
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------all-x2----then-------|
D|--5--5--5--5 5- 5--5--5--5-5----------------------------------------------------5~--|
A|--3--3--3--3 3- 2--2--2--2-2--2--2--2--2-2--5--5--5--5-5------------------------3~--|
E|------------------------------0--0--0--0-0--3--3--3--3-3----------------------------|

then the lead guitar plays the intro riff a few times ("you were easy on my eyes...")
and the rhythm just lets the C5 power chord ring out twice

Final Chorus:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------5~---xxxx----------5~---xxxx------------------------5--x6----------------5--x10--|
A|--5~--5~--3~---xxxx--2~--2~--3~---xxxx---2--x6--4--x6--5--x6--3------2--x6--4--x6--3-------|
E|--3~--3~-------xxxx--0~--0~-------xxxx---0------2------3-------------0------2--------------|

Outro: rhythm does:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|--5-5-5--(slide down)--|
A|--3-3-3----------------|
E|-----------------------|

and the lead just does the chords from the 2nd verse

It's probably far from perfect but there you go! Please send me any corrections or feedback
