Bass Tab

A|--3----------x---4-3-44-55-66-7b8------------------------------------------|
E|----x6-x2222----------------------7h8h9---------9\-------------------------|

the 7b8 (hold 7 and bend up a semitone) you can hear on the stems they uploaded but i'm not 100% he
actually does this on every verse on the song. sometimes it sounds like just '7h8'

every second time the last bit goes

post-chorus

i normally play it

G|-x-x-|
D|-x-x-|
A|-x-7-|
E|-x-0-| x4

but on the stems it sounds more like
G|-x-0-|
D|-x-x-|
A|-x-7-|
E|-x-0-| x4

or maybe even

G|-x-0-|
D|-x-0-|
A|-x-0-|
E|-x-0-| x4

verse 3 and outro

it goes a bit nutty here and it's hard to figure out what's going on
when you slide up to the 17/A don't actually play it with your plucking/picking hand

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-6---------------3-333----------------------------10b---10b----------------|
A|--3-------------------4p0-3-44-55-66-7b8h0---------------------------------|
E|---0-6/17\--2121---------------------------7h8h9-----9b----9b\-------------|

this second version is messy


G|--------------1515---------------------------------------------------------|

A|--3-------13------------------4p0-3p0-44-55-66-7---------------------------|
