This is the cover of Bobby by (Sandy) Alex G made by Cavetown and Conan Gray. Link to the original video:

 In the video, the violin part of the original song is played on ukulele, but I transcribed it for guitar as
well:
 
e|-------------------|---------------|
B|-------------------|--3------------|
G|-4-5-4-0-2--0-----0|4---4-0-2-4-2-0|
D|--------------0h2--|---------------|
A|-------------------|---------------|
E|-------------------|---------------|
 
But if you want you can still play it as Robin plays it on ukulele, which would be
 
A|0-1-0------------|0-3-0-----0----|
E|------1-3-1-----1|------1-3---3-1|
C|------------0-2--|---------------|
G|-----------------|---------------|
 
Capo on 3rd fret.
 
Asterisk * means chord is played once.
 
Two asterisks ** means chords is played once and you pluck the high E, B and
G string immediatly after.
 
 
 
 
 
[Intro]
 
Em G D A x2
 
[Verse 1]
D              A
Bobby’s just a friend of mine
     G
He’s on his back
    D      A
I’m on his mind
   D                A
He wakes me when he goes to work
    G
His hands are cold
    D         A
His breath is smoke
 
 
[Chorus 1]
    Em            G
I’d leave him for you
   D           A
If you want me to
    Em            G
I’d leave him for you
   D           A
If you want me to
    Em            G
I’d leave him for you
   D           A
If you want me to
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                  A
Do you forget when we first met
    G
You grabbed my hand
  D         A
I tore your dress
  D                A
I felt things I cannot express
      G
But I lost my way
  D       A
I made my mess
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    Em           G
I’d clean it for you
   D           A
If you want me to
    Em           G
I’d clean it for you
   D           A
If you want me to
    Em           G
I’d clean it for you
   D           A
If you want me to
 
 
[Bridge]
    Bm*                A*
But I know what you’re doing
Bm*                A*
I know what you’re doing
G      D
I know you
G      D
I know you
  G    D    A        Bm
I do I do I tell you what
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D                A
I paint pictures of my heart
    G               D      A
The colors blue and purple start
   D             A
To bleed into an endless dark
     G             D    A
It’s only you it’s only you
 
 
[Chorus 3]
    Em            G
I’d burn them for you
   D           A
If you want me to
    Em            G
I’d burn them for you
   D           A
If you want me to
    Em            G
I’d burn them for you
   D           A
If you want me to
 
 
[Verse]
    Bm**               A**
But I know what you’re doing
Bm**               A**
I know what you’re doing

I do I do I tell you what
