This tab is based on this YouTube video...:

...and on this article:

I realize the last thing this site needs is another version of this song. But
I read the interview with Ben Bridwell in Guitar World magazine above and got some
critical insights on how he does it (and he even has the correct tuning
tattooed on his arm, in case there's any doubt).
Admittedly, I think this song sounds just as good in standard tuning like it
is shown in other tabs on this site, but I figured a "correct" version was worth
posting.

I'm coming up only to hold you under
And coming up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard; we wonder...
To know you all wrong; we warn.
Ooooooooh Oooooooooh

Really too lat
e to call, so
we wait for
Morning to wak
e you is all w
e got
to know me as
hardly golden
Is to know me
all wrong, the
