                        from their 2010 album Innerspeaker
 
Verse:
"I know where you went, but I don't know how you got there,
I know where you went, but I don't know how you got there,
Silver tongue hill where you talk up what I'd play down,
I would speak up, but I wouldn't know what to say"

Thanks man! Check out my other Tame Impala tabs. I've completely tabbed out Innerspeaker (two are still awaiting approval and should be on here in the next couple of days).
