This is Absentee by Jack Campbell. It was played as Welcome to Night
Vale weather in the episode The Auction. This is just a simplified
version for people who are just starting out. For full chords check
out his tutorial with the chords in the desciption and his lyrics are
on the bandcamp page or I may just make another one or someone else will
idk. I might just keep editing this who knows.

Enjoy! :) feel free to post covers you make in the comments.
He plays it on Capo 2 I think, so these chords are relative to the capo.

Your love has got to be

Lost on me
