*This tab, and the lyrics as well, are based off of his live demo version,
which is likely to change slightly when he releases a studio version of this song.
But given that Ive heard this song live, and seen other corroborating videos
of it, the basic structure is likely to stay the same.
Now, there are no available lyrics for this song on the web at this point, other
than ones I myself have submitted, so these probably arent 100% correct.
But the chords are, and its a brilliant song.

But I need, but I want
So I get something better but
I got a ways to go
I got a ways to go
All this time I've been following life
To the letter, but
That ain't the way to go
That ain't the way to go
You see, we can be free
If we live in our heads
So let's say let it be
And I won't get left by the wayside
I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye
How you see me
They say that's the key
Oh whoa, yeah
That's how I, that's how I wish I could be
(Guitar solo is played over chorus chords: D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA)
But I need, but I want
So I'll get something better but
I got a ways to go
I got a ways to go
You see, we can be free
If we live in our heads
So let's say let it be
And I won't get left by the wayside
I said I'm gonna turn a blind eye
How you see me
They say that's the key
Oh whoa, yeah
That's how I, that's how I wish I could be
