Great song from a great album.

Standard Tuning
Listen to the track for the strum/picking pattern.


F             Am           C        F
    don’t you swing like a child,
         Am         C        F
    in a tree, on a tire, in 85?
               Am            C         F
    there’s an arc that your feet will ride
           Am          C             F
    on the way between hate and that sunday fire
F
    (and that sunday fire)

C


Am              F
    you look so serious
Am                  F
    oh, you look so serious
Dm               F
    the night is serving us
Dm                  F
    but you look so serious



C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it


Not perfect but you get the idea
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---0---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2----|
A|-3---3---3---3---3---3---3---2---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
                                 (overdrive fades in)    

         Am     F      C
    this simple friday night
                 Am        F    C
    where you’re loosening your tie
                  Am           F    C
    but there's a tightness in your eyes



Am              F
    you look so serious
Am                     F
    why do you look so serious?
Dm               F
    the night is serving us
Dm              F
    and we’re deserving it

                  
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it
C               Am
    (this could be all we're owed)
C                    F
    (all we're owed, all we're getting)
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it

F

         Am     F      C
    this simple friday night
                 Am        F    C
    when you’re loosening your tie
                  Am           F    C
    but there's a tightness in your eyes


    F           Am           C         F (Listen for pattern)
    cause if we swing like a child
               Am         C           F
    then we’re always colliding this time of night
            Am               C                  F
    but our arcs, they could align   (we could align! we could align!)
             Am      C             F
    and over gravity up comes this kicking child
         F
    this kicking child


E|----------|         
B|----------|        
G|----------|         
D|----2---2-|     
A|--3---3---|
E|----------|  ...

Continue that picking pattern with this harmonized scale:

E|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|----0----2----4----5----7----9-----|
A|----2----3----5----7----9----10----|
E|-----------------------------------|

Listen to the song for the progression. Towards the end strum both strings at  the same time.

enjoy!

this sounds great, would love to see more from their new album (or any of their old stuff that isn't already up here!)

hey, nice but I believe on, "this simple friday night", the Am is actually an Em, then the rest are Am. Nice job!
