This is technically Flake Music (James Mercer's previous band), but whatever. This tab is MOSTLY
correct, but it is my first one so I can't promise it's perfect. Also, the notes I posted in the
instrumental sections are a combination of the lead guitar and bass in the effort to make it
sound as good as possible when performing this solo.

Verse 2:
E F# C#m A
There's a trail that ends tonight
E F# C#m A
Within the walls of this living room
E F# C#m A
All of my thoughts that weren't so lost

Oh what a fun group that'll be

Verse 3:

Like two strays in a terminal
E F# C#m
Throwing cinders into the sky
E F# C#m
Drifting leaves while stoned aside
E F# C#m A
This is the race we're meant to run
