Tab is based off of when Noah did an Instagram Live and taught people how to play this song. I believe it
is 100% accurate to what he said. I don't know why he taught it with a capo 5 - you can put it on 6 to play
in the same key as the recording. REPEAT: This is NOT a tab of the released song, this is a tab of the lesson
Noah gave on how to play it. It's obviously simplified.
I'm not sure what chord this is, but the internet says it is a CM9/B. Noah called it a modified C chord.
Either way, it looks like this: x20010
C chord is played as a C/G like this when strumming: 332010
Also, on the live Noah played a modified G chord like this: 320013
But you can just play a normal G.

Chorus
And I wonder
why I tear
myself
down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow,

And now I lay myself do
