Hey guys, just heard this new tune by Dawes, and figured I would tab it out for you!
Most of it I learned from ear, but if you head over to this youtube video:
you can watch Taylor play it and get a better understanding.
This is my first tab so go easy,
Hope this helps! also a HUUUGE THANK YOU to William Heschl, for uploading him covering the
solo. That helped me so much in tabbing it for you guys. I will link his video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCFhi-5_F_k
& Thank you for viewing!
Note: A lot of the verse he uses his thumb for bass roots of the chords.
I also gave up on the timing, just play along with the song and you will get it.

Intro
Am G
(Riff)
Am G Fmaj7
Am
If you're just asking for a reason
F
Reasons are everywhere you look
G Em
The only difference between them
Am F
Are which you gave and which you took
Am
Every smile with some dark anticipation
F
And dreams of back before it settled in their brows
G Em
I don't remember when you first began to notice
Am F (Riff) Am G Fmaj7
But I can't think about it now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can't think about now
Am
The latest singer's latest single's got me listening
F
For the pact between the writer and the star
G Em
This is how mythology is written
Am F
This is where the lawless jungles are
Am
She's just a singer living mostly after midnight
F
Pumping blood and money back into a town
G Em
And it eventually betrays her
Am F (Riff) Am G Fmaj7
But I can't think about it now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can't think about now
Am
So I guess it makes me wonder what I'm chasing
F
Like a dancer when she's breaking in her shoes
G Em
Like sending men up to the moon just for the landing
Am F
Displaying power we don't know how else to use
Am
Sometimes it's more than I can handle
F
Sometimes it's all the joy I've found
G Em
And it'll all end up on one side or the other
Am F
But I can't think about it now
Break
1st half
Am G F (repeated)
2nd half and solo
F G F G (repeated)
Am
The decades that are hidden in the sidewalks
F
The narrative that naturally occurs
G Em
The everlasting wisdom of a sports bar
Am F
The poison that's mistaken for a cure
Am
All these backwards glances putting me in danger
F
Of forgetting how to put myself around
G Em
It's just that time just keeps on slipping through my fingers
Am F (Riff) Am G Fmaj7
But I can't think about it now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can't think about now
(Riff) Am G Fmaj7
I can't think about now
