Chords

Acoustic version based on a video posted on Twitter of Awsten playing Rare live. Only the chorus is true to how Awsten played it (that's all the video had); the rest I made up in a way that compliments it lol, tweak it however you want. These are really chords, not a tab, but the chords are weird ones. Some don't have real names, so I marked them as something close. Chord configurations are at the top, lyrics with chords at the bottom
[Intro]

[Chorus] Strum pattern is D--D-DU-UD-D-U- Switching between Bb, Bb5, and Bbmaj7 appears arbitrary
    Gm7     Eb     Bb    Fsus2    Bb5   Bbmaj7  Ebmaj7
Eb|---4------0------0------0-------0------------------|
Bb|---4------0------0------0-------0------------------|

Db|---4------2------9------4-------4------4------6----|
Ab|---6------2------9------4-------2------2------x----|
Eb|---4------0------7------2--------------2------4----|

During "so let me tell you now," I like to play this (but Awsten just plays Fsus2):
Eb|--0----0---0-0---0-0--0--0--|
Bb|--0----0---0-0---0-0--0--0--|
Gb|--4----4---4-4---4-3--4--3--|
Db|--4----4---4-4---4-4--4--4--|
Ab|--2----2---2-2---2-2--2--2--|
Eb|----------------------------|

The part right before "Just know I think you're rare" is played like this:
    Fsus2      Ebmaj7
Eb|-----------------------|
Bb|-----------------------|
Gb|--3---3---3/5-x--------|
Db|--4---4---4/6-x--------|
Ab|--4---4---4-x-x--------|
Eb|--2---2---2/4-x--------|

          Gm7           F     Eb
I save my metaphors for rainy days

     Eb  F   Gm7
When I'm too phased

               Gm7     F  
But that's not here or there,

   Eb                Eb     F    Gm7
so I'll give you the phrase that pays

                 Gm7 F  Eb
'Cause we're not seventeen,

              Eb   F  Gm7
but you're my teenage dream

             Gm7          F
If there's a chance we'll sink, 

     Eb           Eb      F      Gm7    Gm7  F
then I don't even want to try to sleep 

  Eb      Eb   F 
Or dream

  Gm7     Gm7  F
To sleep
Eb Eb F(hold) Or dream
                                 Gm7    Eb
I just hope it's nicer where you are

                                Bb
'Cause I only want to lift you up

                              Fsus2
Guess I never really said enough

                              Gm7
For you to hear me where you are

                                Bb
'Cause I only want to lift you up

                              Fsus2                        Eb
Guess I never really said enough, so let me tell you now

                             Bb5           Fsus2        Eb
My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no

                        Bb        Fsus2       Eb 
You float up in conversations, oh no

                       Bb      Fsus2        Eb
You're my final destination, I know
Fsus2 Fsus2/Ebmaj7 You're probably fine there N.C. Just know I think you're rare
      Gm7                 F       Eb
Let's make some plans for time to waste

     Eb F Gm7
Your Cali gaze 

             Gm7       F
has stuck me spinning, dripping 

Eb               Eb F Gm7
sweetness hidden in my face

                 Gm7 F  Eb
'Cause we're not seventeen,

              Eb   F  Gm7
but you're my teenage dream

             Gm7          F
If there's a chance we'll sink, 

     Eb           Eb      F      Gm7    Gm7  F
then I don't even want to try to sleep 

  Eb      Eb   F 
Or dream

  Gm7     Gm7  F
To sleep
Eb Eb F(hold) Or dream
                                 Gm7    Eb
I just hope it's nicer where you are

                                Bb
'Cause I only want to lift you up

                              Fsus2
Guess I never really said enough

                              Gm7
For you to hear me where you are

                                Bb
'Cause I only want to lift you up

                              Fsus2                        Eb
Guess I never really said enough, so let me tell you now

           Gm9 Gm
                         I've got to say
Eb Eb(hold) I think it's weird I need your love,
                  Bb11
I've clocked 300 ways

           Bb Bb11
