The Verse is all E (with a hammer on sus4) F#m(with a pull off 7th)
The Chorus is Asus2, B7, E, Asus2
For the sake of speedy tabbing, I will ignore the hammer on & pull offs in the
verses, listen to it and you can
figure out the timing.
This is a song off his upcoming album.. You can listen to it here:

[Verse]
E
We are young we have
years ahead maybe
we might fall in love
F#m
or fall apart
E
fall apart
F#m
Before it ends well we
E
should try to start
[Chorus]
Asus2
So I’ll go
B7 E
But I’m telling you I don’t
Asus2
want to go
Asus2 B7
I could be stuck here and happy
[Verse]
E
There’s a puzzle I
work on endlessly
and I’ve got all the sides and all the corners
F#m
But there’s a space
E
Oh there’s a space
F#m
Lost some pieces I
E
can’t replace
[Chorus]
Asus2
So I’ll be
B7 E
But I’m telling you I don’t
Asus2
want to be
Asus2 B7
Just a wasted puzzle piece
[Verse]
E
We are old and our son
took the dog away
and fair enough guess we’re
F#m
tired all the time
E
all the time
F#m
and you know dogs they need
E
ample time outside
[Chorus]
Asus2
So I’ll stay
B7 E
But I’m telling you I don’t
Asus2
want to stay
Asus2 B7
So I’ll brace myself against the wall
E Asus2
and hope to God that I don’t fall
Asus2 B7
My bones are worn my hip won’t hold
E
I used to be so young
Asus2
How did I get so old
Asus2 B7
Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand
E Asus2
You’re holding on to all I have
Asus2 B7
just a basket full of memories
E Asus2
and I am loosing more each day it seems
Asus2 B7
but if I can make it to the street
E
I’ll steal a car or a bike
Asus2
whatever there is to steal
Asus2 B7
and it might get cold I just don’t care
E Asus2
I’m going till I’m getting there
Asus2 B7
I’ll ride my steed all through this town
till I.........
E
have looked
Asus2
till I have found
Asus2 B7
Your peaceful memory
Asus2 B7
Won’t you return to me
Asus2 B7
Won’t you return to me
