The other version is definitely simpler to play but this one is based on what Ben David actually plays(note
the Open E tuning and the capo on 4th fret, based on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZREdRhuRzgw)

[Verse 1]
Em11You've seen my attempts to F#leave
And poor excuses for a Apersonality, in a personality crisis, Em11I swear I'm not always F#like this
Sometimes I just get Aselfish and win
And it's hard to pretend that I'm here
Em11I heard you're leaving next F#week
Bet you'll be back home by the Aspring
I've heard a million different things
Hey what's really going Em11on? F#
Hey what's really going Aon?
[Chorus]
Cause I've been C#hoping like Bhell we can C#find our way Bout of this Amess
[Verse 2]
Em11You've seen my attempts to F#speak on busted mornings like Athese
And we both know that they keep happening far too often Em11lately
I'm rarely on F#time cause I have nowhere else to Abe
It's like I'm stuck to this seat, seven days of the Em11week
I've never felt this F#strong, I've never felt this Abroken
I never thought I would find, find what I was hoping Em11to
F#And if you're choking I can Astay
[Chorus]
C#Cause I've been hoping like Bhell
C#We can find our way Bout of this Amess
C#Yeah I'm hoping like Bhell we can C#find our way Bout
[Verse 3]
Em11I've been a manic deprF#essive
These days I'm always Aobsessing about how would I look in a mirror
Em11I haven't slept in a week
Too much F#thinking to get done
I haven't Aseen you all week
Well I've been stoned and you've been working
EIt's hard for me
F#To watch you be
ASo unhappy when you're around me
EIt's hard for me
F#To watch you be
ASo unhappy when you're around me
[Chorus]
C#And I'm hoping like Bhell we can C#find our way Bout of this Amess
C#Yeah I'm hoping like Bhell we can C#find our way oA#mut
AOf this mess
A#mOf this Amess
[Outro]
Em11It's hard for me to F#watch you be so Aunhappy when you're around me
Em11It's hard for me to F#watch you be so Aunhappy when you're around me
Em11It's hard for me to F#watch you be so Aunhappy when you're around me
Em11It's hard for me to F#watch you be so Aunhappy when you're around me
Em11It's hard for me to F#watch us be unhaAppy
