If you've seen the acoustic version robbers, you'd see that Matty plays some chords that resemble power 
chords. I'm not sure what they are called exactly. (Please comment below so I can improve this tab, thanks!)
This is my first tab so be as harsh as you want :P
(These are not the exact names, please correct me)

*MUTE* STRINGS G, B, (high) e. 
* = One strum
If you are trying to learn this, try playing along to the acoustic version it will help!

Her balaclava 

              
is starting to

When she gets

egging, "Babe 

       
stay, stay, st

ay, stay, stay

."


[Chorus]

              
I'll give him

And if you nev

You've got a p

rty face
              
And when you'r
