If you need to know exactly, this song is from their LP Seens
(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)

GDsus2
I spent the last few years really struggling yeah
From fighting urges and just screaming through
C
All the friendships and the fuckups
EmGC
And the nights that got away from us
GDsus2
So I lined up a bottle for each question asked
I closed a chapter on a city that contained most
C
And landed in some outer borough
EmGC
Where I picked up the keys from your neighbor next door
GDsus2
You may have been bounced around yourself now once or twice
You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night
C
But oh! I remind you of a place you come from
EmGC
I said, you probably should take more pride in that

Fmaj7C
And I see how we drifted apart
Fmaj7CFmaj7
I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk
C
You've been a good friend, darling
GC
But just not a lover yet
GDsus2
So we spent the best years painting pictures of
The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from
C
But oh, the things I could've said to you then
EmGC
If I'd the man speaking for the boy I was back then
G
Those were last words I said when I was 17
Dsus2
I look at you now and I think,
C
Oh my God, I'm about as together and with it
EmGC
and clever as I ever was back then
Fill: | C Cadd9 C Cmaj7 |
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
Fmaj7EmCFmaj7
But old---- bones hold in place these dates
EmCFmaj7
Old---- bones carry me where I am
