[Intro]
F   Dm   Am   C   x2
 
[Verse 1]
      F                                    Dm                  Am   C
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
         F                          Dm               Am   C
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above
 
[Chorus 1]
         Bb
Got the music in you baby,
         F
Tell me why...
         Bb
Got the music in you baby,
         Dm
Tell me why...
             Bb                             C                  F   C
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
 
[Verse 2]
 F                              Dm                      Am   C
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
             F                            Dm                 Am   C
You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark…
 
[Chorus 2]
         Bb
Got the music in you baby,
         F
Tell me why...
         Bb
Got the music in you baby,
         Dm
Tell me why...
             Bb                             C                  F   C
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
 
[Bridge]
Gm7                                Fmaj7
    Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Gm7                                Fmaj7
    Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
        Bb                                    Gm                 F
Go and sneak us through the rivers, flood is rising up on your knees
      Dm
Oh, please…
Gm7
  Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
C
 Come out and haunt me...
 
[Verse 3]
 F                                 Dm                     Am   C
Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
          F                               Dm                          Am   C
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist…
 
[Chorus 3]
         Bb
Got the music in you baby,
         F
Tell me why...
         Bb
Got the music in you baby,
         Dm
Tell me why...
             Bb                             C                  F   C
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye
 
[Chorus 4]
Bb   F
Bb   F
             Bb                             C                  F
You’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye

I think the plucking in the intro/chorus sounds something like this. Intro: Repeat 2x E|--5------5--------5----5------5---------5---- B|-----6------6-------------6-------6---------- G|--------5------5-------------7--------7------ D|--------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------- E|--5-------5-------5------5--------5--------5- B|-----5-------5-------5------5--------5------- G|-------5--------5--------------5--------5---- D|--------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------- Chorus: x2 (Got the music in you baby tell me why) E|--6------6-------------5------5-------------- B|-----6------6-------------6-------6---------- G|--------7------7-------------5--------5------ D|--------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------- E|---------------------------------------------

Great tab! I prefer putting the capo on the fourth fret because it fits better to my voice :)
