Open C# Tuning: C# G# C# E# G# C#
Learnt it from this video of her playing it in an Instagram livestream:
A cover of me playing it, acoustic so may be a little easier to hear and figure it out:

Edit: People pointed out to me that the G#maj11/G chord was missing. I've updated this, but I don't play it
in this cover. It's played for the last two measures of the bar before each D#m11 chord in the outro. It's
pretty clear to see in her video.
[Chords]
There's a lot and they have scary names but they're pretty simple are often variations of each other

Picking pattern for the first half:
C#|--------------------------|
G#|-----------X-----------X--|
E#|-----X-----------X--------|
C#|--------X-----------X-----|
G#|--------------X-----------|
C#|--X-----------------------|
She varies this slightly (e.g. swapping when she picks the 6th string and 5th string when she moves between
F#maj9 and F#maj9#11) but it pretty much stays the same until the outro which she strums.
[Intro]
C#/G# F#maj13 C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11
[Verse 1]
C#/G# Somewhere in Germany but I can't place it F#maj13 Man, I hate this part of Texas C#/E# Close my eyes, fantasize F#maj9 F#maj9#11 Three clicks and I'm home C#/G# When I get back I'll lay around F#maj13 And I'll get up and lay back down C#/E# Romanticize the quiet life F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11 There's no place like my room
[Chorus 1]
A#m7 But you gotta go C# F#add9 I know, I know, I know A#m7 C# F#add9 Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore A#m7 G#add4 F#add9 Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
D#11sus2
And you had to go
C#maj7/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11 I know, I know, I know
[Verse 2]
C#/G# Out in the park we watch the sunset F#maj13 Talking on a rusty swing set C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 After a while you went quiet and I got mean C#/G# Always pushing you away from me F#maj13 But you comeback with gravity C#/E# F#maj9 And when I call you come home F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11 A bird in your teeth
[Chorus 2]
A#m7 So I gotta go C# F#add9 I know, I know, I know A#m7 C# F#add9 When the sirens sound you'll hide under the floor A#m7 G#add4 F#add9 F#maj9 But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado C#* I'm gonna chase it C#/E# F#maj9 I know, I know, I know C#* I gotta go now C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11 I know, I know, I know
