Song by The Tallest Man on Earth
Lyrics are from the official Facebook page
Tuning: Standard (capo 4)
The original looks to be in CGCGCE (capo 8)
I'll try to work out that version, meanwhile here is a way to play it in standard:

[Intro]
E E7sus4 A B7sus4
E E7 A7 B7sus4
E Esus4 E
[Verse 1]
E A
And so there were no higher mountains
B7sus4 E
It's all in your hand
(Riff) A
Valley was the future sea
B7sus4 E
And now sail's the plan
E A
And in this travel with no journey
B7sus4 E
I lose until I'm light
(Riff) A
Letting go of mind to have
B7sus4 E
What I'm keeping now
[Chorus]
E A Asus2 B7sus4
And suddenly the day gets you down
B7sus4 Amaj7 Asus2 B7sus4
But this is not the end, no this is fine
B7sus4 A
We're still towers in the valley
B7sus4 E
Still winds down this dream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
B7sus4 E
With our ghosts within
(Transition)
[Verse 2]
E A
And there are many ways of sorrow
B7sus4 E
For just stepping out
(Riff) A
Everyday a growling storm
B7sus4 E
But they're kind somehow
E A
I fall in love but keep on falling
B7sus4 E
I held you for life
(Riff) A
But letting go rope in hand
B7sus4 E
There's just leaving now
[Chorus]
E A Asus2 B7sus4
And suddenly the day gets you down
B7sus4 Amaj7 Asus2 B7sus4
But this is not the end, no this is fine
B7sus4 A
Still we're biking, laugh in memories
B7sus4 E
Still winds down this dream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
B7sus4 E
With our ghosts within
(Transition)
[Verse 3]
E A
And when there's no one on the bottom
B7sus4 E
You got there alone
(Riff) A
Kicking up some dust to see
B7sus4 E
Where a wind could blow
E A
And all the ways to ride a lightning
B7sus4 E
I've used up a few
(Riff) A
And I just want you to be safe
B7sus4 E
As I thunder through
[Chorus]
E A Asus2 B7sus4
And suddenly the day gets you down
B7sus4 Amaj7 Asus2 B7sus4
But this is not the end, no this is fine
B7sus4 A
We're still the towers in the valley
B7sus4 E
Still winds down this dream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
B7sus4 E
With our ghosts within
(Transition)
[Outro]
E A B7sus4 Amaj7
No this is not the end and no final tears
Asus2 B7sus4 (Transition)
That we need to show
E A B7sus4 Amaj7
I thought that this would last for a million years
Asus2 B7sus4
But now I need to go
[Outro]
Oh, fuck
