Version 1 is completely wrong and the youtube tutorials I found all had minor errors.
Fairly certain these are the correct chords with timings.

Listen to the recording for the picking/strumming, bass notes, and mutes.
Good luck!

[Intro]
  
 



[Verse 1]
         
Always felt li

              
ke I needed to

 
 please her, o

r impress her
        
Though only in

              
 the hope that

              
 one day I wou

   
ld undress her

    Don't be o

ffended
            
You think I'm 

              
'bout to tell 

           
you that "I lo


ve you"
              
But I really r

              
eally really f

       
ucking don't
        
See the months

 of obsession
            
And crying for

    
 hours
           
I even started

       
 sitting down 

          
in the shower,


 girl
              
I'll take my t

          
ime on my own
            
And I'll be fi

              
ne now I'm alo


ne

 


[Verse 2]
    
Constantly tol

              
d stories with

    
 a stretch of 

the truth
        
Trying hard to

  
 make memories

    
 to remember f

  
rom youth
         
Desperately wa

              
nting you to b

  
e interested t

oo
         
It's not clear


 what I need y

et
              
But it's clear

          
 it's not you


[Bridge]
         
Here's what I'

              
d say to any y

              
oung man that'

            
s still intere

         
sted in you
           
Do you priorit

              
ise the things

         
 in your life
           
The things tha

              
t you hope to 


do

  Cause if not

 then
              
Mate you'd bet

              
ter trust me w

              
hen I tell you

    
 that
              
It's not worth

              
 forgetting ab

       
out yourself

Because of one fucking girl


[Outro]
         
She may seem p

            
erfect, and go

            
rgeous, and lo

/
vely

You'll think s

he likes you
       
I mean I thoug

       
ht she loved m

e, no
        
But no
              
Neither of us 

              
will get down 

           
from the shelf
         
The only one s

he loves is he

rself
