This is my first tab and I'm sure it's accurate however, feel free 
to use as a rough guide. Any section can be 
picked at your leisure. 
There are 3 basic sections to the song excluding the outro 
(which I tabbed a little shady I know). I've 
named them verse, pre-chorus and chorus.  
Some of the metre and timing in this song 
is strange but I'm sure you just need to listen to it for rhythm and changes.  Good Luck!

  So to speak

  doesn't change in weeks
