Sorry if you don't like this! I've never tabbed something before, I just really
like this song and decided to try to teach it to myself, and thought this was
pretty similar. I also didn't see any other Drive tabs, so I thought, what the hell.

Lyrics:
Low F5
Do you ever feel like somethings in your way?
A5 Bb5
When the truth comes out, it's just too hard to get past.
C5
It's just way to hard to deal with anyway.
Low F5 A5
I can't help but sit alone with nothing to talk about.
But would you even listen?
Bb5
Could you even make it out?
C5
Could you even make it out?
High F5
And every night it keeps me up
Guitar 1 plays main chords, Guitar 2 plays Riff 1
Low F5
Do you ever sing?
A5
Do you ever think for yourself?
Bb5
Are you catching up with all the things that you've missed?
C5
It looks as if you're careless.
Low F5
Were you sick of staying in your room?
A5 Bb5
Were you tired of waiting for something to hold onto?
C5
I know you too well.
High F5
And every night it keeps me up
Guitar 1 plays main chords, Guitar 2 plays Riff 2
Low F5
It's too hard to sleep.
A5
It's too hard to think of what's next.
Bb5
It's too hard to think it's hopeless.
C5
But I already know it.
