Chords

All chords relative to capo. Based off of this live version I had a bit of trouble seeing which chords he was playing during the quick transititions during some of the song, so I wrote down what I could definetly make out. I'm not that great at tabbing things out, so it's a bit rough especially at the end, but it works as a basic tab. [Intro] 4 palm mute strums then G [Chorus] Is what I wanna be
Am              C D     G
When I'm tired of being seen

G
Daydrunk
Is what I wanna be
Am              C  D    C
When I'm tired of being seen
[Verse 1]
C              G
I'm seen in my house

C              G
I'm seen in my town

Bm                Em 
I'm seen, I show up, I'm responsible

G
I wanna blow it out
[Verse 2]
G
But daydrunk is what I used to be

Am
No Jimmy Buffet song

C      D   G
No island imagery
Old men Dying retirees
Am
Bellies on the bar

C      D        C
Elbows up with me
[Verse 3]
       G
I was 25

C          G
I was terrified

Bm                       Em
Locking stalls, cleaning lines off the toilet seats

C  D
Afraid of running out
[Bridge]
    Em      Bm         C       G
You are the drill, you are the test

    C   G        C     D
The big inviting nothingness

     Em   Bm       C     G
The parachute, the great escape

      C         G    C     D
From "comatose" to "wide-awake"
(fingerpicked from this point)
    Em      Bm         C      G
You are the drill, you are the test

     C   G        C    D
The big inviting nothingness

     Em   Bm       C     G
The parachute, the great escape
(back to strumming)
     C        G    D
From some place to any place
(He fingerpicks the melody here, but I can't really tell what he's doing) [Verse 4]
C           G
Alone in my house

C               G
The threat in my mouth

Bm                     Em
The lie that looks true when my life's too good

C D
I gotta lay it out
[Chorus]
G
Daydrunk
Is what I wanna be
Am              C D     G
When I'm tired of being free

G
Daydrunk
Is what I wanna be
Am              C D      A
When I'm tired of being free

A
Daydrunk
Is what I wanna be
Bm              D E  A
When I'm tired of 

A
Daydrunk
Is what I wanna be
Bm              C D      A
When I'm tired of being free
