I was actually about to draft a chord for "Weathered" by The Hotel Year when I saw that I had this half completed from months ago. I had some trouble back then trying to figure it out, but Matthew Florio's tab helped a bunch with the chord progressions. I also want to give credit to PLyrics.com for the lyrics. This seems spot on. I hope you all like it!
Tuning: Half-step down

[Verse 1] DEmC When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist CDEmCC Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did DEmCC So don't even think for one second you're following me in DEmCC My parents are home, so is my kid
[Pre-Chorus] AmBmC Just go on. That house that you hate CEmDCC That house that we bought and failed to make
[Verse 2] DEmC When you took that ring off, I sat there stunned CDEmCC Parked out in my car, surprised at what you'd done DEmCC The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless DEmCC And though it came as no surprise I still couldn't believe it
EmDCC You'll never be happy EmDCC You'll never be happy
[Chorus] Em But it was all for nothing C Yeah it was all a waste GD/F#Am You held on tight and for dear life C But it was all for nothing
[Verse 3] DEmC When you took that ring off, threw it at your feet CDEmCC You didn't say a word, much less look at me DEmCC The courage that must have took I just couldn't believe it DEmCC In that moment you were perfect, and it made all the bullshit seem worth it
[Chorus] Em But it was all for nothing C Yeah it was all a waste GD/F#Am You held on tight and for dear life G But it was all for nothing C Yeah it was all a waste EmD/F# You held on tight (Held on tight) Am And for dear life (For dear life) C But it was all for nothing (Held on tight and for dear life)
