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)

Intro: G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G

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

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

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

Fill: | C Cadd9 C Cmaj7 |

And 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

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

Those were last words I said when I was 17
I look at you now and I think,
Oh my God, I’m about as together and with it
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
But old—- bones hold in place these dates
Old—- bones carry me where I am
