Chords

This is my first tab but it's also a great song off of their new album Astoria! Hope you enjoy! Some notes: I rewrote the lyrics towards the end of the song a bit to make it easier for a soloist who wanted to sing and play the song. It'll help a lot if you listen to the song to learn the strumming patters, chord stresses, and pauses in the song! [Intro] D E F#m D E F#m [Verse 1]
D                    E                      F#m  
  Its the third of October, you should come over

F#m                             D
Best laid plans are not sober

                  E                          F#m
And maybe not the way we thought we planned

F#m
Both of us will take this hand

D                E                   F#m
For a couple of days then we'll disappear

F#m                                          D
We don't have to talk of where we go from here

    E            F#m       
Oh, my dearly departed,

  D  E            F#m
Mmm, my dearly departed
[Refrain]
    D
One final shoulder

D                       F#m
Here before they're none

E                    D
And then there were none
[Chorus]
     F#m              A         D
This last call could be all we can do for each other

F#m          A          D
Embrace for a dear old friend

D
Bring wine to bed

     F#m E A       D             F#m
We'll  toast what could have been

E            D
My dearly departed

  F#m E            D
To,   my dearly departed
[Verse 2]
D                   E
I don't know how to mend it

                  F#m
But this chapter ended

F#m                                    D
When all of my plans have depended on you

               E                        F#m
But at least tonight we'll still pretend

F#m                                        D
Hold each other close like its not the end

                       E                              F#m
And you can send me balloons, and we can laugh at the doom

F#m                                               D
We both thought of that doesn't it say something to

   E           F#m
Oh my dearly departed,

  D  E            F#m
Ohh, my dearly departed
[Refrain]
D
One final shoulder

D                   F#m
Here before we're none

  E                 D 
Until (there) are none
[Chorus]
     F#m              A         D
This last call could be all we can do for each other

F#m          A          D
Embrace for a dear old friend

D
Bring wine to bed

     F#m E A       D             F#m
We'll  toast what could have been

E            D
My dearly departed

  F#m E           D
To   my dearly departed
[Bridge]
      F#m              A
Every masterpiece I'd write again

       E
You'll always be my porcelain

  F#m                     A
I crossed my heart but I stuttered too

   E
So truth or dare was I good to you?

        F#m                A
Haven't had enough of you all to myself

      E
Still right beside you in sickness and health

   F#m         E              D
Forever after you will be my home

                       F#m  E   D
And there's no place like home
[Outro]
D                 E                               F#m
We never sent the cards, they're all still on the table

                                      D
Wanna throw them out but I'm just not able

E            F#m      D
My dearly departed

E               F#m      A      D
   My dearly departed

D           F#m         A          D
Toast what could what could have been

D           F#m         A          D
Toast what could what could have been

D                F#m
Dear old friend, 

     A          D
What could have been

D           F#m
Old friend

A            D
My dearly departed

D           F#m
Toast what could,

A            D
My dearly departed

D           F#m
Toast what could,

A            D
My dearly departed

D           F#m         A          D
Toast what could what could have been

D
Dear old friend
