Hello! I am back with another NEW Dawes tune I adore. The orginal version was not even close to what is on the album making it difficult to play along. Fear not, me, myself, and I will tab this for others to enjoy learning and playing this tune. Tabbed by: Eric Merrill IG: ericcmerrill

 F      N.C.                   G  C   F
You look at me through your red glasses

While the yellow cab waits

     N.C.                  G   C       G
We've been thinking 'bout our soulmates

Not everybody gets stuck so bad

                          G    C
We've been talking 'bout who we had

G   F
Too much

G                F

It's the one night we're keeping off the books

                             G     C    F
The one night that we can stand accused

            Dsus2                E5
All of this nonsense, past-tense living

All this high rent, soul bent existence

All these taboo, rearview obsessions
