I saw another tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed the author
got it parts of it incorrect Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help
you sound just like the band. I think Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you
can be, by the way!

Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to Dm/A is the only part that I am not totally
convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily.
