Ok so I've just written this tab real quick, it may not be 100% accurate but I think it
sounds good.
Intro: F#, C#, Abm
F# C# Abm
Having an argument with myself down Elizabeth Street
Bbm
Bumping into backpackers and
Abm
struggling with the parameters
Ebm C#
and the basic construction of my feet
B Ebm
Shut up, no, you shut up!
Bbm Ebm
What's the matter, take a number, Buttercup!
Repeat the whole thing until:
Look closer, that's her intials
Play D and C#m twice, and then C#m, D and E on "tidal wave of vomit"
Then you go F#m, Bm, E, C#m, E and G and you then return to the normal chords from the
verse. The timing is tricky on this part so you'll have to hear the song and try to play
along it.
Two notes: you could play the song with a capo on the 2th fret to make it easier, in
fact Jens plays it this way. Also, the first three chords of the song play a little melody
which you'll have to play like this:
e|--2---------4---6----4---------------------------------------------------|
B|--2---6--7--4------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--3---6-----4------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--4---6-----6------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--4---4-----6------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--2---------4------------------------------------------------------------|
