song. Of course, I recommend listening to the song to make sense of this tab. Nothing
for listening to the artist.

Here are the two different progressions that occur after riff 4:
D A# A D DM7 Bm G
e|-2---0--0---|-2---2---2---3------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3---3--2---|-3---2---3---0------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-2---3--2---|-2---2---4---0------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0---3--2---|-0---0---4---0------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----0--0---|---------2---2------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------3------------------------------------------------------------|
NOTE: i am unsure of which type of DM7 and G he uses. it may just as easily be:
D DM7 Bm G
e|-2--2---2--3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3--3---3--3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-2--2---4--4---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0--0---4--5---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----4---2--5---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------3---------------------------------------------------------------------|
in this scenario, the DM7 is a tad trickier, but sounds better, i think.
I wrote out the G as a bar chord because i can't tell from the recording which he uses,
they both work equally well.

if we can call them friends we can call them on red telephones
[1]
and they won't pretend that they're too busy or they're not alone
[2]
if we can call them friends we can call
[2]
holler at 'em down these hallowed halls
[2]
but we can't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all
[3]
don't
don't you worry
[3]
about the atmosphere
or any sudden pressure change
[3]
'cause I know
that it's starting
[3]
to get warm in here
and things are
[3]
starting to get strange
[3]
and did you
did you see how
[3]
all our friends were there
drinkin' roses from the can
[3]
how
how I wish I
[3]
I had talked to them
and wished they
[3]
fit into my plan

D DM7
I know we're gonna meet someday in the crumbled financial institutions of
Bm G
this land
D
there will be tables and chairs
DM7 Bm
pony rides and dancing bears
G
there'll even be a band
D DM7
'cause listen after the fall there'll be no more countries
Bm G
no currencies at all
D
we're gonna live on our wits
DM7
throw away survival kits
Bm G
trade butterfly knives for adderal
D
and that's not all
DM7
woah!
Bm G
there will be snacks, there will
D DM7 Bm G
there will be snacks!
