I'm a beginner and I found the other versions to be too hard for me to play! So I
took parts of the different versions to make this easier version. It doesn't sound
exactly like it, but it is good enough to sing along to! Also, I'm not good with bar
chords yet, so this version also sounds okay when the chords are played normally!

But baby, you hardly even notice

This song is meant to keep you
     Am7                 C7
From doin' what you're supposed to
G7            D7
Wakin' up too early

Make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now

Am7         C7
Mama made a baby

        Am7
But the telephone's singing, ringing
                              D
It's too early, don't pick it up
We don't need to
       Am7
We got everything we need right here
                           D
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
         Bm
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
      Em
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
        G7
Wake up slow
     Am7
mmmm mmmm
        G7
Wake up slow
 
    C7        G7          D7

Ignore Ivospazout70, you made it clear upfront that you understood the limitations of your tab, good on you for having a go.

Ngl, I find barring easier, as it maintains my hand position, but ik others may not share this sentiment
