Tabbed by:DawesTheTab

Hey guys, just heard this new tune by Dawes, and 
figured I would tab it out for you!
Most of it I learned from ear, but if you head over to 
this youtube video:

you can watch Taylor play it and get a better 
understanding.
This is my first tab so go easy,
Hope this helps! also a HUUUGE THANK YOU to William 
Heschl, for uploading him covering the
solo. That helped me so much in tabbing it for you 
guys. I will link his video here:

& Thank you for viewing!

Note: A lot of the verse he uses his thumb for bass 
roots of the chords.
I also gave up on the timing, just play along with the 
song and you will get it.

Intro

Am   G

  (Riff)
Am   G   Fmaj7

Am
If you’re just asking for a reason
                             F
Reasons are everywhere you look
G                       Em
The only difference between them
Am                              F
Are which you gave and which you took

Am
Every smile with some dark anticipation
                                                F
And dreams of back before it settled in their brows
G                                      Em
I don’t remember when you first began to notice
Am                         F     (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
But I can’t think about it now
                       (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
I can’t think about now

Am
The latest singer’s latest single’s got me listening
                                        F
For the pact between the writer and the star
G                        Em
This is how mythology is written
Am                              F
This is where the lawless jungles are

Am
She’s just a singer living mostly after midnight
                                    F
Pumping blood and money back into a town
G                        Em
And it eventually betrays her
Am                         F     (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
But I can’t think about it now
                       (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
I can’t think about now

Am
So I guess it makes me wonder what I’m chasing
                                         F
Like a dancer when she’s breaking in her shoes
G                                         Em
Like sending men up to the moon just for the landing
Am                              F
Displaying power we don’t know how else to use

Am
Sometimes it’s more than I can handle
                                F
Sometimes it’s all the joy I’ve found
G                                         Em
And it’ll all end up on one side or the other
Am                         F
But I can’t think about it now

Break
1st half
Am  G   F (repeated)
2nd half and solo
F   G   F   G (repeated)

Am
The decades that are hidden in the sidewalks
                              F
The narrative that naturally occurs
G                                         Em
The everlasting wisdom of a sports bar
Am                              F
The poison that’s mistaken for a cure

Am
All these backwards glances putting me in danger
                                 F
Of forgetting how to put myself around
G                                              Em
It’s just that time just keeps on slipping through my 
fingers
Am                         F     (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
But I can’t think about it now
                        (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
I can’t think about now
                         (Riff)  Am   G   Fmaj7
I can’t think about now
