The Format
"The First Single (Cause A Scene)"
Interventions + Lullabies
This is how to play the album version of The Format's "The First Single";
this is exactly how the song is played live, as well. There is no need for
a capo. This is how I play the song, also, so I wrote the tab out and
then played it again just to make sure it sounds good -- it does.
I included all chords/lyrics, because the verses and choruses don't play out
exactly the same each time, and when I'm learning a song, I don't like to
read a lazy tab. Enjoy, this song is not difficult for a beginner to learn.
(Note, you'll easily be able to tell if your guitar is in tune with this
song's intro: the fifth fret on B and the open E note should ring in
harmony, obviously.)

They've got their guitars tuned half a step down, at least when they're performing it live. So if you want to play along with their live-performance, you got to play...
Eb Bb
You know me, or you think you do, you just don't seem to see
Ab Cm Bb
I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define
Eb Bb Ab
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet, or something!

...and so on. But the chords are right indeed.
