Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
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
