So I took up guitar 6 months ago, and now playing it is all I want to do. I'd rather
practice than go out. I love this song, and there's a great acoustic version on YouTube
(search Line of Best Fit). In it, low E is dropped down to D-flat (Db) so I tuned down
all the strings. No idea if that's done ever, but Scott seems to have done it, works here and
it's played with almost the same fingering as the album version. I just can't figure out
the chords in the chorus. Anyone knows them, let's have 'em.

CHORUS - wish I knew. I tried to adapt from album-version tabs, but those I've seen
don't seem right to begin with, so...

I play the chorus like this, e|-X--X--X--X--X---X--X--X--X-X| B|-7--5--7--10-3---7--5--7--3-3| G|-7--0--0--9--0---7--0--0--0-2| D|-0--X--X--X--0---0--X--X--0-0|X2 A|-0--7--9--12-5---0--7--9--5-4| E|-0--7--9--11-5---0--7--9--5-4| then play the last part of the pre-chorus Might not be correct but sounds close.
