  			First Tab, couldn't find this song on here so I thought I'd give it a go by ear!  
Hope it sounds good to you guys too 

G* - He hammers in a G at the end of the Chorus after the F (on the fourth beat),  
very subtle and completely optional but I think it sounds great leading into the  
next C chord, either just play a G on the low E string on your way to the C, play  
the whole chord or completely ignore it and play F all the way through 

B* - Exact same thing for the Pre-Chorus, he slips in a B when going from Am to C.  
Play with it and see what you like 

(b) (c) (d) - single notes you can pluck and add a little vibrato to before the Chorus drops 




(Verse) 
C 
  Got a text from you 
Em 
  Is it really true? 
Am                         F        G* 
  All the stuff we did last night... 
C 
  We shut down the bars 
Em 
  Danced on top of cars 
Am                              F        
  Asked some girl if she'd be my wife... 

(Pre-Chorus) 
Dm                                                             Am   B* 
Oh and I got pictures that I don't remember taking that are so bad... 
C 
And oh had to break into my own damn apartment 
(B)  (C)  (D) 
How about that? 

They say the best stories come from the worst nights baby but 

(Chorus) 
C 
Oh it was crazy 
    Em 
And Oh it was amazing 
   Am 
We blew all our money  
    F 
And crashed in your Mercedes 
       C 
And we both got numbers 
    Em 
But didn't get the names 
       Am                    F 
And my whole damn party lost power 
   F       F       F 
It was, it was, it was... Our finest hour 

(Verse) 
C 
  Bruises on my knee 
Em 
  They're all over me 
Am                          F     G* 
  Think I might have lost a fight 
C 
  Found a drink receipt  
Em 
  From 42nd street 
Am                               F 
  Remember we must have lost our minds 

(Pre-Chorus) 
Dm                                                       Am     B* 
And I got pictures that I don't remember taking that are so bad 
C                             
I think I might've fell asleep in the subway 
(B) (C)   (D) 
How about that? 

They say the best stories come from the worst nights baby but 

(Chorus) 
C 
Oh it was crazy 
    Em 
And oh it was amazing 
   Am 
We blew all our money  
    F 
And crashed in your Mercedes 
       C 
And we both got numbers 
    Em 
But didn't get the names 
       Am                    F 
And my whole damn party lost power 
   F       F       F 
It was, it was, it was 

Our finest hour 

(Bridge) 
C                 Em 
Oh this night was ours 
               Am 
This night was ours 
               F 
And it was our finest hour 
C                 Em 
Oh this night was ours 
               Am 
This night was ours 
               F 
And it was our finest hour 

(Verse) 
C 
  Got a text from you 
Em 
  Is it really true? 
Am                          F 
  All the stuff we did last night 

(Chorus) 
C 
Oh it was crazy 
    Em 
And oh it was amazing 
   Am 
We blew all our money  
    F 
And crashed in your Mercedes 
       C 
And we both got numbers 
    Em 
But didn't get the names 
       Am                    F 
And my whole damn party lost power 
   F       F       F 
It was, it was, it was 
                C Em  
Our finest hour 
           Am 
Our finest hour 
F                 C      Em 
It was our finest hour 
Am                                   C 
    Think it was our finest hour
