I dunno if this is the same key as the song, but I chose to tab it in E because it fit
vocal range well, and I couldn't find any other way to do it that sounded good. I think
actually in Open D (DADDDD), but I couldn't figure it out in that tuning, so this is in 
And even if this isn't right, it sounds good anyway.

Tuning: Standard

              E                   A
Give me your black lungs, and your blue eyes

           Cm                  B
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise

               E                  A
Give me your best bet, and your worst lie

              Cm                 B
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line

              A
You could be everything I wanted

           Cm             B
If you'd just give up on holding back

          A                             Cm             B
And I've never lost so many words for kissing just one girl

Wait for it, wait for nights that compliment you

It's easier to pretend you don't care at all

     A                               Cm
Now wait for it, wait for boys that overwhelm you

B                      A
Tell them that you're not that type of girl

               Cm             B              A
And you would rather sit and talk about your goals

Give me your black lungs, and your blue eyes

           Cm                  B
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise

               E                  A
Give me your best bet, and your worst lie

Repeat Chorus here (Wait for it, wait for nights that...), but with different words. The
pattern is the same. And then the bridge:


        Cm       B        A
Well I tried.......


        Cm       B        A
Well I tried.......


       A                              Cm          B
Well I tried to make you see that you lost reality somewhere

  Cm       B       A
I tried........


A
(No words here)

             E                   A
Give me your black lungs, and your blue eyes

           Cm                  B
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise

               E                  A
Give me your best bet, and your worst lie

              Cm                 B
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line

              A
You could be everything I wanted

           Cm             B
If you'd just give up on holding back

          A                             Cm             B
And I've never lost so many words for kissing just one girl

             A
You've got potential.

end on E, let ring.


Pretty easy for the rhythm parts; there are a few arpeggios scattered throughout the
but those are just variations of the A chord that's used in the song, so you should be able
figure them out.
