I Can't Think About It Now - Dawes
Tabbed by:DawesTheTab
E-mail: merrilleric18@yahoo.com
Hey guys, just heard this new tune by Dawes, and figured I would tab it out for you!
Most of it I learned from ear, but if you head over to this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icWiuVxBt2Q
you can watch Taylor play it and get a better understanding.
This is my first tab so go easy,
Hope this helps! also I didn't tab the whole solo out because Taylor just noodles live,so this is
the general idea of the tune. If someone wanted to finish the solo, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you for viewing!
Note: A lot of the verse he uses his thumb for bass roots of the chords.
I also gave up on the timing, just play along with the song and you will get it.

Intro
Am G
(Riff)
Am G Fmaj7
AmIf you’re just asking for a reason
Reasons are everywhere you loFok
GThe only difference betwEmeen them
AmAre which you gave and which youF took
AmEvery smile with some dark anticipation
And dreams of back before it settled in their brFows
GI don’t remember when you first began tEmo notice
Am F (Riff) Am G Fmaj7
But I can’t think about it now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can’t think about now
AmThe latest singer’s latest single’s got me listening
For the pact between the writer and the Fstar
GThis is how mythology is Emwritten
AmThis is where the lawless jungleFs are
AmShe’s just a singer living mostly after midnight
Pumping blood and money back into a Ftown
GAnd it eventually betraysEm her
Am F (Riff) Am G Fmaj7
But I can’t think about it now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can’t think about now
AmSo I guess it makes me wonder what I’m chasing
Like a dancer when she’s breaking in her Fshoes
GLike sending men up to the moon just for tEmhe landing
AmDisplaying power we don’t know hFow else to use
AmSometimes it’s more than I can handle
Sometimes it’s all the joy I’ve Ffound
GAnd it’ll all end up on one side or the otEmher
AmBut I can’t think about it Fnow
Break
1st half
Am G F (repeated)
2nd half and solo
F G F G (repeated)
AmThe decades that are hidden in the sidewalks
The narrative that naturally oFccurs
GThe everlasting wisdom of a sports bar Em
AmThe poison that’s mistaken for aF cure
AmAll these backwards glances putting me in danger
Of forgetting how to put myself aFround
GIt’s just that time just keeps on slipping throEmugh my fingers
Am F (Riff) Am G Fmaj7
But I can’t think about it now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can’t think about now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can’t think about now
