I made this tab for those who want to play in standard tuning but still have it be accurate to Phoebe's
chord progressions. The chord progression is adapted from pkamat007's version, but transcribed into standard
tuning (since the UG transposition feature does not work for such complex chords).

Capo fret 1 (chord names and fingerings relative to capo)

Out in the par

After a while 

              
you went quiet

     
 and I got mea

Always pushing

A bird in your

[Chorus 2]
           
So I gotta go
            
I know, I know

    
, I know
           
When the siren

But I'm not go
