Father John Misty - Generic Pop Song #3

This is a piano backed song so I didn't bother with a strum pattern. Listen to the song
here to get an idea of the rhythm (and the timing of the "oh's"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swRkBEDmaqk

The original song is in the key of FF so the chords are written out as such (standard tuning).

If you want easier chord fingerings then hit the transpose button to -5 and put a capo on 5 (making
the chords in "C".

Alternatively if you've been playing other FJM songs in Josh's typical tuning (DGCFAD) then transpose to +2
and play it open.

Note: The Em7b5Em7b5 chord may also just be Em(b5). Here's a couple variations that work:
012333
xx2333
xx2330
