This is a new song that's only been performed live. I made this tab by

watching

Conor play it live in St. Paul MN.

After the last G in each verse he runs up the scale like this

(from low E string to the A string)
G A B C D E F G

On the D minor in the intro, there's a pull off from the G on the high E

string to

a normal d minor. Watch a video of him playing it if you don't understand

what that means.

[Intro]
C Dm (+ pull off) (x2)

[Verse 1]
C C/B
He's my friend but he's no friend to me
C C/B
Ask him why, he'll tell you casually
F
Washed up, bitter, broken, busted
G
Back stabbed everyone he trusted
C C/B F
Says he sees what no one else can see
G
And if I had half his guts I'd want it
F
To chase that fatalistic comet
C C/B F
Die young in the dark; that's poetry

Dm G (run up the scale)

But it was not to be, no it was not for me

[Verse 2]

(same as verse 1)

He's always sad but I've never seen him cry

When he comes to, sure he'll apologize

Find his car, assess the damage
