[Intro]
G  G  G  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
   G
So long
    B7
Goodbye
     Em             D
I'll see you when I see you
        C
You can pick the street
     Cm              G         B7  Em
I'll meet you on the other side
 
 
[Verse 2]
D/F#  G
So   long
    B7
Goodbye
     Em             D
Do I really have to finish?
     C              Cm
Do returns always diminish?
      G              B7  Em
Did I say that right?
 
 
[Chorus]
     G  G#dim  Am     Em
Does anybody  want to joke
              F               C   D
When no one's laughing in the background?
G   Dm7     F      C   Bb
 So this is how it ends
G  Dm7        Bb          Eb    C   G
 I promise to never go outside again
 
 
[Verse 3]
   G  Gsus4  G
So long
B7
Bye!
     Em           D             C            Cm
I'm slowly losing power, has it only been an hour?
         G             B7  Em
No, that can't be right
 
 
[Verse 4]
D/F#  G  Gsus4  G
So   long
    B7  B  B7
Goodbye
     Em            D
Hey, here's a fun idea
          C            Cm                G             B7  Em
How about I sit on the couch and I watch you next time?
 
 
[Chorus]
  G     G#dim    Am     Em
I wanna hear you tell a joke
              F               C   D
When no one's laughing in the background
G   Dm7     F      C   Bb
 So this is how it ends
G  Dm7        Bb          Eb    C
 I promise to never go outside again
 
 
[Bridge]
Em          Am
 Am I going crazy?
             D
Would I even know?
                         G         B7
Am I right back where I started 14 years ago?
Em               Am
 Wanna guess the ending?
           D                         G             B7
If it ever does, I swear to God that all I've ever wanted was:
  Em                                      Em7
A little bit of everything all of the time
Am/C                                D
 A bit of everything all of the time
G
Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime
B7
I'm finished playing and I'm staying inside
C                  G                     D
 If I wake up in a house that's full of smoke
               Em             D
I'll panic, so call me up and tell me a joke
C                G                     D
 When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it
Em             Bm        C
Call me up and tell me a joke
       G
Oh shit
B7                         Em        D
 You're really joking at a time like this?
 
 
[Outro]
G
Well, well
Am
Look who's inside again?
D                      Em        D
Went out to look for a reason to hide again
G
Well, well
Am                 D
Buddy, you found it
    Ebaug  Em            Ebaug
Now come   out with your hands up
      Cadd9      Cm     G
We've got you surrounded

Awesome tab, thanks! Unfortunately my voice isn’t as low as Bo’s so there’s a lot of whisper singing involved lol
