Nights Become Days
This is just the chord structure. It is mostly acurate enough to play along with the track.
The song sounds WAY better when picking out out as Frank does.
He also throws in many grace notes that don't quite fit the chord structure
I hope this is a good starter and someone can update/fix this tab to make it even better!

E A
We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar
B A F#m
When nights become days and you've gone too far
E A B A
We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day
E A
You said, “London in summertime is great,
B A F#m
On days like this I feel like I could escape
E A
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.
B A F#m
I'd wash it all away”
A E A E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
A E A Amaj7 A E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again
E A
It started out curious, it started out fun
B A F#m
We smoked in the woods when we were young
E A
And secretly slipped something under our tongues
B A
And danced the night away
E A
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine
B A F#m
It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain
E A B A F#m
‘Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way
A E A E
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
A E A Amaj7 A E
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again
F#m B
Sink in the river for your death
F#m B
Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath
F#m B
Swallow forever ‘til nothing's left
F#m
Take no rest
F#m B F#m E F#m
Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting
F#m B F#m E F#m
Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting
F#m B
Don't sink in the river for your death
F#m B
You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath
F#m B
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left
F#m E A
Please draw breath, please draw breath
E A
Let's let nights become days
E A E B F#m A B
So come down kid the roofs not safe now
E A E B F#m B A B A F#m A
All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
