Tuning: Standard
Not sure what that instrument is with tons of reverb they use during the solo...
I know they use a kazoo sometimes in their music. So I call it the "kazoo". But play it however
you want. Theres some guitar parts towards the end where they use a ton of FX... figure it out :p

[Verse]
EThey found me lost, but not panicked
EFloating belly up in a pool of disenAchantment
EI could only shrug, nothing to tell 'em
EThe truth is corny and too hollow to sink with
AI'm completely opinionless
EDarling I'm better now
Ethink things have finally settled down
Eand something about the weather has me
Epleasantly curled up and Alonely
So I welcome Eall the rain as sedatives for me to dull down anything left of the
Agrandiose visions I drag aroundE  
AMust be the guilt from the privilege I was bornE  
and why my Afavorite songs don't Bsound great anymore.E
