This is my first tab, I tabbed it from the video of Michael Guy Chislett and William
doing an acoustic version. This video can be found on fbrplus.com. I do not own this
in any way, and these chords are simply my enterpretation of the song. Also, I know I
some of the chord names wrong, sorry about that.
Hope it helps.

Verse 1 Chords
Heart on a hook,
thrown out to the sea,
your basement busy.
Sitting in the dark,
I turn the radio off for a
phone call you’ll likely miss.
Wake me when it’s over.
The last sound of goodbye.
Chorus:
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care as much as I did?
If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.
Intro again
First filler twice (in between each filler, chislett taps his guitar three times on the
then plays again.)
Bridge:
Palm mute similar to verse.
"Let?Em7??s imagiD/F#ne the end befoCadd9re we even begin,"Em7; yoD/F#u saiCadd9d.
"Let's imagine the end before we even begin," you said. (you said, you said)
Chorus:
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care, as much as I did
If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.
If this is a test, I'm losing my shit
Would it kill you to care, as much as i did
If this is a test, I'm wasting my breath
You'res a stranger I know well, and not at all.
