I've been obsessed with this song lately and decided that I would try to tab it out.
I got the correct lyrics from their official website and tried my best to match them up
with the chords.
I'm not sure what the strum pattern is yet but I'll update it as soon as I figure it out...
Rate/comment and leave feedback/suggestions on how I can make this tab better!

Great tab! But I have one suggestion: I'm pretty sure the chord progression for the Bridge is as follows:
F G C
And love, we need it now
F G (no C chord)
Let's hope, for some
F G C
Cuz oh, we're bleeding out

I'm not sure about the Fmaj7. It sounds more like a variation of just a plain F chord to me.
F -- XX3211
I'm probably not hearing it correctly, or getting the guitar and mandolin parts confused, but playing the F that way also makes it a lot less difficult to switch back to the C.
Thank you for posting this! Super helpful. :)

You've actually done quite well, but Indie is correct: that's not an Fmaj7 in the song; it's an Fmaj variant using just the 4th, 3rd, and 2d strings (FAC) and not a barre chord as shown in some tabs. (I should note here that the Fmaj7 actually would still sound OK.) The Gmaj chord also does not include the "D" on the 3rd string, as Wesley Schultz plays this chord as a basic, open Gmaj using his 2d, 3d, and 4th fingers (pinkie plays the high G on the E string) to make for a really easy transition back to the Cmaj. (There are quite a few pretty good live vids showing Wesley play this progression; you'll notice that because of these chord forms he actually moves his left hand very little during the changes.) And the other commenter is correct; there is also a C chord in the bridge, although with the mix of the song the changes are a little hard to hear and some might not even notice if you didn't play it! Overall, good job!
