This is as close as I could get it to sounding like the real thing.
The third and fourth tabulature lines in the intro can be swapped out for playing the previous line twice
more, but with the N.C. removed. The two are played simultaneously in the original song.
Also, the last two tab lines of the intro are played over almost the entire rest of the song in the original.
Do with this information what you will.

G I remember the view out the back of the car B Left the front door wide open Em C Maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't be goin' D D7 I didn't realise it'd be so hard G B You and me, sittin' on the trampoline Em I think one time we fell asleep C D Woke up and felt like it had been weeks D7 And now it truly has been G B (Forgive yourself)
It wasn't meant to be but it's funny how
Em C Life dealt this cheat D D7 To someone who could handle it so well
[Chorus 1]
G B And while you sleep in the pouring rain Em Just know I'll be with you someday C D And I'll have a good one 'til then D7 Just like you told me A|---10----9----2----2---| E|-----------------------| between each note, tap the body of your uke C|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| [Bridge] (play simultaneously on two instruments over vocals) A|---------------------2/5--4--------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------0-----------------------------------| omit if you only have one player C|--4-------3-------2--------------------------6///7\\\3-------3---4-----| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Em Gaug G Em6 C Em Gaug A|------2-------2-------2-------2---------3--------2-------2-------2-----| E|----3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3--0-----------3---3---3---3---3---3---| C|--4-------3-------2-------1------------------4-------3-------3---------| G|--------------------------------------0---0----------------------------| Em Gaug G I wish we could've played that game sometime Em6 C I wish we'd talked more online Em Gaug I'm glad you liked my picture

G B Muddy hands and climbing trees Em Sink-tall while we brush our teeth C D Striped shirts and hide and seek D7 It's all comin' back to me G B And while you sleep on a sunny day Em Just know I'll remember you always C D And no matter how much it hurts D7 G It's not goodbye, just see you later
