I saw patinahat's tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed he got it wrong. Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help you sound just like the band. Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you can get, by the way!

I put it up here to save space. Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to A/Dm is the only part that I am not totally convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily and the A/Dm is similar enough.
