Learnt it from this video of her playing it in an Instagram livestream:

A cover of me playing it, acoustic so may be a little easier to hear and figure it out:

Edit: People pointed out to me that the G#maj11/G chord was missing. I've updated this, but I don't play it
in this cover. It's played for the last two measures of the bar before each D#m11 chord in the outro. It's
pretty clear to see in her video.

There's a lot and they have scary names but they're pretty simple are often variations of each other

She varies this slightly (e.g. swapping when she picks the 6th string and 5th string when she moves between
F#maj9 and F#maj9#11) but it pretty much stays the same until the outro which she strums.

And you had to go

Out in the par

Talking on a r

After a while
you went quiet

But you comeba

So I gotta go
I know, I know

When the siren

But I'm not go

Slot machines,

Big bolts of l
