I cobbled this song together based on the album, and watching a bunch of youtube vids.
The truth is that Kyle Morton messes around a lot with different chord positions.
This is sort of a simplified version that I came to. The band has 7000 members at last count,
so it's sort of hard to get that full feeling with a single guitar. That was my goal though.
Tried my best to match the chords with the rhythm, but you just need to listen to the song a lot.

Intro: G C B4 G C Em C X2
GI was born in C/GSeptember
And like everything B4else, I can't Gremember
I replaced it with scenCes from a Emfilm that I will never know C C
GAnd I blinked, it was C/Gover
I was thinking my B4life would get Gslower
That I would sort this shit C/Gout when I'm Emsober
CItC gets better now tGhat you're older
I read the scares on the C/Gfront page
It says we're waiting B4around for an Gice age
It says our comforts, they Ccome with a Emprice tag
CThCey cured the cancer but Gdiscovered a new plague
They say just think of the children
And imagine the world that we've willed them
Is populated with weirdos to kill them
And break their hearts
And everybody knows G
That this the C/Gend
It's now fashionB4ablGe
Dinner party conversation C/G B4
DNow I'm as old as you were when you had me
CShould I be afraid? GShould I start a family?
DRaise them in the wild 'cause up against the city
My Clove is such a small thing
G C Em
G C/G B4 G C B4 C C
GWhen you're young, you're C/Ghot
You have your B4whole life Gbefore you. Everyone will adore
You'll grow up, you'll be an astronaut C/G Em
Or Canything you Cwant
GWhat goes up, goes up in C/Gflames
And now your B4choices Gsurround you, Indecision confounds you
And you're pacing around the place C Em
Shows you Ceverything you're Cnot
GAnd then the brief little C/Gromance
You committed a B4soul without its Gconsent
To live a life as a C/Gform without its Emcontent
Because young people get Gbored C/Geveryday
Yeah young people, young people get Gbored C/G B4
DNever went to church, thought a song was going to save me
CSo I wrote a hymn on the Gguitar that you gave me
DSignal wood to smoke I built a fire look for smoke
Know that Chope is just a small thing
GI just called to tell you
CI just called to say
EmLearn all your Gmistakes
C/GYou were my iA/C#nspiration
GAnd it wasn't all we hoped for
CBut we shake it off and we say
EmHere's your Gyellow ribbon
CI am your A/C#consolation G
I was born in CSeptember And if I died today
EmJust know I dGon't regret you
C/GSome things I A/C#can't explain
EmIt's a slow descent
C/GIt's a loveless place A
Every C/Ggoddamn day G
And Now you know C
No matter where you go Em
Know that I will follow C A
That I will follow G
You not only home C
It's not much but it's all that Ai know
Em Here's Chow it Ggoes
Outro:
I just called to tell you
I just called to say
