==Verse 1==
C
Rats they run across the field, crows rest in the tree
G C
Barking madly at each other
C
Standing from the rooftop, I scream 'Won't you bark for me?'
G C
As you turn your back and fly away
Riff 1 (this is played during the choruses)

Riff 1 C
Caught on the fence you've left behind
Riff 1 C
Dive into an empty blue (?), I've tried
G Intro (first half)
Oh I've tried, oh I've tried writing
F
With nothing in return
==Verse 2==
C
When the wind that freed me from the roots that tied me down
G C
Now I need them back for comforting
C
Carvings that we left up, scarred up on this tree
G C
Lingering of thoughts you left with me
Riff 1 C
Calling the phone that you ignore
Riff 1 C
Slowly walking backwards from your door
G Intro Riff (first half)
Oh I've tried, now we're done fighting
F
It's time that you return
==Bridge==
Riff 1, C
Riff 1, C, G
==Verse 3==
C
Candlelit, small light inside your window that I see
G C
Hoping that the light still shines for me
C
Standing from the curbside, I scream 'Please come back'
G C
As you turn your back and fly away
Riff 1 C
Groundhogs digging with their claws
Riff 1 C
Buying their loves with dirty paws
G Intro riff (first half)
Oh I've tried, there's no igniting
F
My head is in the dirt

===============================================================================
nice tab
Good tab, just three suggestions:
The first hammer-on in the intro is from the 2nd to 3rd fret on the d string.
The song uses an Fm
and the chorus riff can be played in an F chord, making it easier to strum/pick out the line
