Tuning : Standard
this song was pretty hard to figure out because of the moving chords and moving bass lines.
Im not sure if he uses some inversions or not but I have the basic chords here.
In the chorus The A's and D's are walking chords to the Bm or the G. It's quick
You also don't need to play the D in the chorus (necessarily) . I just use it as a
walking chord. :)
Listen for the changes and enjoy :)

You're just as hDot as AradiGation
But I'm F#in this situation
If you miss me, don't
If I never wanna see you again, I won't
If you get an invitation, I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
Yes I am, I gotta get out
If you miss me, if you miss me, if you miss me
