~ Many people requested me to post the tabs, so here they are.
~ I'm sure you can figure out the strumming patterns just by listening to the song.
~ I learned the song by ear, although I am aware the tabs are not quite right.
However, this is my version and it sounds pretty all right to me. People on
YouTube seem to think so. :p
~ I covered this song. It's posted on YouTube right here:

LYRICS:
I can't feel your bones, but I can see them.
And I can't call you up without a reason.
I can take you a thousand miles,
and I can drive for hours to your house in the summer.
But I could stay for longer if you wanted me to.
 
I've been up and I don't sleep enough.
And I know we don't talk as much,
but I can hear you still.
 
I can hear your voice on the phone
when you're up all alone in your room
because I am up too.
