NOTE: Haim just released a studio version of this song today, and this is NOT the
tab for that. The chords are the same, but this particular tab is for how they play it live.

Tuning: Standard

INTRO
Alana:
|--------10------|
|------------10--|
|----11----------| x16
|--12--12--12----|
|----------------|
|----------------|

Danielle: (strums after Alana does the intro ~8 times)
|-----|
|-----|
|--7--|
|--7--|
|--5--|
|-----|

VERSE 1
All bass until...

"Well I know I know I know I know..."
Alana:
|--10-10-10-10--|
|--10-10-10-10--|
|--11-11-11-11--|
|--12-12-12-12--|
|---------------|
|---------------|

Then Alana goes back to the intro riff and...

Danielle: (x16 = 16 counts, not necessarily strums, listen to the song to figure it out)
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|--7---------------------777--|
|--7-(x16)-7------5------777--|
|--5-------7-(x4)-5-(x4)-555--|
|----------5------3-----------|

CHORUS
Danielle: (x4 = 4 counts, not necessarily strums)
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|---------7--------------------| x4
|--5------7-(x4)-9------7------|
|--5-(x4)-5------9-(x4)-7-(x4)-|
|--3-------------7------5------|

After the 2nd time, Alana does the intro riff x16.

VERSE 2
Danielle does the same thing as verse 1 through the entire verse. Alana doesn't play
until Este starts singing...

Alana:
|--------5-----------5-----------5-----------5-----------7-----------7-----------5-----------5-|
|----7-------7---7-------7---7-------7---7-------7---7-------7---7-------7---7-------7---7-----|
|--7---7-------7---7-------6---6-------6---6-------7---7-------7---7-------6---6-------6---6---|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|--------5-----------5-----------3-----------3--222--|
|------------5-----------5-----------3----------333--|
|----6-----------6-----------4-----------4------222--|
|--7---7-------7---7-------5---5-------5---5----000--|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|

CHORUS

BRIDGE is the same chords as the chorus but different strumming, mostly just the bass
note of each chord, sometimes full chords. The same chords are also behind Danielle's solo.

CHORUS until the end!
