This version is a guitar arrangement of the original song. It contains two guitars that complement each other (one is the lead melody, the other is the backing) which makes it a perfect fit for anyone learning to learn the original song on their guitar.Was this info helpful?

Hi, guys! I recently fell in love with this song. It's so simple, yet so captivating! Here's a tab I made for
a duel guitar act. Guitar 1 is the lead synth and singer and Guitar 2 plays the background chords and the
synth for the chorus. Together, they make the whole song.
 
I usually add timing numbers above the staves, but here... I think the song is simple enough that you can
follow the notes without them. It just made making the tab a bit easier. However, I have added the lyrics,
just in case you do get lost in the tab.
 
For the timings of the sections, I'm using the official music video on Youtube.
 
Intro   (0:00 - 0:11)

Verse 2 (1:37 - 2:32)
Chorus  (2:32 - 3:15)
