Hi love this sing of declans so much and i could only find chords online so i decided to work out tab by myself and write it down so others don't have to. Feel free to make your own version this is my first tab and as you can probably tell it's not great. DO NOT USE THE TIMING OFF THIS TAB its obnoxiusly bad but it's easy to work out from the video link i left below.
