[Intro]
E11 F#m11 C#m11  x2
 
[Verse]
E                F#m                C#m
  That slow burn wait while it gets dark
             E                F#m                 C#m
Bruising the sun I feel grown up with you in your car
            E      F#m  C#m  E  F#m C#m
I know it's dumb ooooooooooh ooooooooh
 
[Verse]
E                 F#m                   C#m
 We've both got a million bad habits to kick
                E                   F#m                     C#m
Not sleeping is one w're biting our nails, you're biting my lip
              E        F#m  C#m   E  F#m C#m
I'm biting my tongue oooooooooooh ooooooooh
(But people are talking, people are talking)
 
[Chorus]
E                          F#m                C#m
  Raise a glass 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
E                           F#m                    C#m
  Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
                   E
World alone, we're alone
 
[Post-chorus]
            F#m                      C#m
All my fake friends and all of their noise
               E                      F#m                   C#m
Complain about work, they're studying business, I study the floor
                                    E
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
          F#m             C#m
Maybe the Internet raised us
                    E                          F#m
Or maybe people are jerks (People are talking, people are talking)
        C#m
But not you (People are talking, people are talking)
 
[Chorus]
E                          F#m                C#m
  Raise a glass 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
E                           F#m                    C#m
  Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
                   E
World alone, we're alone
 
[Chorus]
                     F#m                C#m
All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
E                               F#m                 C#m
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
                        E   F#m C#m  E F#m C#m
World alone, we're all alone
 
[Bridge]
             E  F#m    C#m
I know we're no-ot everlasting
        E       F#m            C#m
We're a train wreck waiting to happen
            E  F#m            C#m
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
        E     F#m     C#m
One day we'll all get still (People are talking, people are talking)
E           F#m C#m     E  F#m  C#m
Get still ooooooooooooh oooooooooh
E  F#m  C#m      E   F#m  C#m
Oooooooooooooooh ooooooooooh
 
[Chorus]
E                          F#m                C#m
  Raise a glass 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
E                           F#m                    C#m
  Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
                   E
World alone, we're alone
 
[Chorus]
                     F#m                C#m
All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
E                               F#m                 C#m
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
                        E   F#m C#m
World alone, we're all alone
(People are talking, people are talking)
(People are talking, people are talking)
(People are talking, people are talking)
(People are talking, people are talking)
Let 'em talk

This should be the top-rated tab. It's the only one to include the opening riff. And you've got a simplified version as well. Nice work.
