This is based on Ben's solo acoustic performance. Unlike the album version, he strums
chords consistently throughout the song. I wasn't sure of some of the chord names, so I
made some of them up. I'm not 100% about if the B* and E2 chords are correct. Thanks for looking!

You could also do the low notes as slides: 9s12 and 12s7. At the end of the line where
see the B, continue playing B into the next line.
B G#m E B
it's gotten late and now I want to be alone
G#m E B
all of our friends were here, they all have gone home
B* E2*
and here I sit on the front porch
c#m E* B
watching the drunks stumble forth into the night
G#m E B
you gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there
G#m E B
I thought you had dissappeared so early away from here
B* E2*
and this is the chance I never got
C#m E*
to make a move, but we just talk about
*Fill
the people we've met in the last five years
*Fill
and will we remember them in ten more
B G#m E B
I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past
G#m E B *Fill x2
I've tried twice before but like this, it just would not last
Great tab but the chord names are wrong.
E* is Em
B* is D#sus2/Bb
E2* is Esus2
Seriously though great tab, five stars.
