UPDATE: If you are a beginner you
can play this in G on capo 5th by transposing -5.
That would give you: 
   
for the whole 

 
song :)

NOTE: I figured out a nice way of playing this in 
C without having to barre F - just use these chord shapes
and you'll barely need to move your fingers!

C - normal
 - 320013
 - x02010
 - x33011

[Intro]
      

[Verse 1]
              
We were in the

 
 backseat
              
Drunk on somet

             
hing stronger

"I rent a plac

e on Cornelia 

Street"
             
I say casually

           
 in the car
          
We were a fres

h page on the 

desk
             
Filling in the

              
 blanks as we 

  
go
             
As if the stre

Leading us hom

[Chorus]
              
And I hope I n

And baby, I ge

 how this city

              
 screams your

And baby, I'm
