Nights Become Days 
This is just the chord structure. It is mostly acurate enough to play along with the track.
The song sounds WAY better when picking out out as Frank does.
He also throws in many grace notes that don't quite fit the chord structure 
I hope this is a good starter and someone can update/fix this tab to make it even better!
Capo on 3
Standard tuning
E
EWe saw iAn the dawn from the roof of the bar
WBhen nighAts becF#mome days and you've gone too far
EWe listeneAd to BsoAngbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day
You Esaid, “ALondon in summertime is great,
On dBays like tAhis F#mI feel like I could escape
FErom Athings that I've done and mistakes that I've made.
I'd wBash AiF#mt all away”
AWe baEthed Alike Eswimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
AIt feElt Alike Amaj7one oAf uEs would come down hard and one  of   us would start again
EIt startAed out curious, it started out fun
WBe smokeAd in thF#me woods when we were young
EAnd secretAly slipped something under our tongues
BAnd Adanced the night away
And EeveryonAe stumbles on old cocaine
It bBurns out tAhe flesF#mh, and it burdens the brain
‘ETil browAn comes Band AwF#mhisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way
AWe baEthed Alike Eswimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
