Tab from the KEXP session. It's pretty hard to illustrate this song so each line down = the bass riff.
You'll get the hang of it once you start playing. Pretty sure this tab is accurate but always up for
suggestions to make it better!

Em The drunk’s face breaks into sweat F#m as his friend falls under the wheels G but the headlights don't flinch
and the engine doesn't stutter
A oh yeah B think about myself, I think about myself, care about myself, I care about myself Am I only care about myself E and other fears too stupid to mention Am C the ending of ‘Dramamine’ scared Degnan Em the way that you all see me F#m that's who I am, but not who I need to be G moving my joke body through the cold November night A haha B hate yourself, do you hate yourself, I don't hate myself Am I tolerate myself
I wish I was someone else
E but it seems too stupid to mention Am C I know I'll be ripped in heaven
[Chorus]
Em F#m I was young, I was thin G Am I had money and I loved you
but then came the
A Am shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah E shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah Em F#m I need a name for what I’m feeling G Am then I can start to work on a meaning
speaking of the
A Am shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah E shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah
[Verse]
Em in a crowded room you will F#m hear your own opinion voiced G you can sit back without a word
watch it spread or fall silent
A oh yeah B If it's too late to speak I could get out of bed
find a pencil and write leave it for you to find
Am if the moment is gone E to say I figured out what the problem was Am C I'd been thinking about it earlier Em hey! can you hear me now? F#m Am I alone in my futile efforts? G A sometimes I get so mad that I can’t do the few things I usually can
which is sad
B no occupying space, I know I take up space Am will there be a space for my soul in space
(that's heaven to me)
E 98083 Am C Post office box 295
[Chorus]
Em F#m I was young, I was thin G Am I have money and I love you
but here comes the
A Am shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah E shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah Em F#m I need a name for what I’m feeling G Am then I can start to work on a meaning
speaking of the
A Am shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah E shabba de bop bop be shibby day oh yeah
[Bridge]
G C And in the sky there is a place
where it's warm and you're there
Dm and I've got the power now G Yeah I know what to do C to make you feel something besides pain D 'Cause it's the love Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 That we've come to expect, to deserve Em And then we touch and it's nice A It's not a complicated mess D Dmaj7 And my back doesn't hurt D Dmaj7 Em And your head doesn't tell you to kill yourself A So we smile and embrace D Until we don't know who we are
[Outro]
Em I can't hear a thing now F#m I guess I belong to me now G but when night fell on Montana
I found a rest stop completely deserted
A
but I still felt the eyes upon me so I drove away
[Outro]
(Then the bass + drums kick back in and Will fiddles at the strings near the head so that's what the x's mean)

(From then on the song continues with Will staying in E & G fiddling while always hitting the low open E.
Then we get:)
