Guitar Tab

This tab is not accurate, nor was it made to be. I've only been playing for about a month and I couldn't find a
tab of this song online, so I threw this together. Better than nothing.
If you think something should be changed,please let me know.

Based on the original recording as well as this live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K42cbitdm4w

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 4th Fret

we met on the bus
and it was canada day
we crossed into detroit, and the heat was insane
//no vocals
but the station was calm
and she walked out of view
threw a brick with a note through the ticket counter window

i'd rather shatter and freeze

(Intro/Verse)
then i ran out the door
she ran out of it too
the cops gave chase, but they got confused
so we escaped to her apartment
on the 30th floor
she had a great view
but that only counts for the non-blind

(Bridge)
that's why:

(Chorus)
i'd rather live in my basement
i'd rather cultivate palm trees
i'd rather move to new england
i'd rather shatter and freeze

(Intro/Verse)
i said, seriously
you're sleeping alone
you know that's a waste of your recharge time
//no vocals
but she responded to me
like she governed her home
nobody sleeps here, i never sleep here

(Chorus) x2
i hear they're draining the lake now
i hear they're shutting the fountains off
they plan to alter the shoreline
they plan to make it all clean

so let's set fire to both sides
let's leave a message they'll hear - let's scream
let's send a signal through coax
let's have them bend the terrain, destroy the lake and make a stream

(Intro/Verse)
