great song, super catchy.
i think this song has been ever-so-slightly pitch shifted on the record.
these chords match up with their live performances though.
it's not a tab, so i haven't captured all of their chord voicings. just the letters
[Intro](Guitar 1)

[Verse]
E Amaj7 B
i lie on a sofa awake, it's what you said last night
E Amaj7 B
you'd like us on top of a cake but you won't let me take a bite
[Interlude] E Amaj7 B
E Amaj7 B
flowers arriving in fleets, can't we talk about this
E Amaj7 B
why let the state in our sheets, can't we do without it
[Pre-Chorus]
E Emaj7 Abm7 B7
well i don't mean to wind you up, but i'd like to slow it down
E Emaj7 Abm7 B7
how do i remain a pup if you put me in a gown.
[Chorus]
C#m F#m7
what's it got to do with you?
Abm7
what's it got to do with me?
F#m7 C#m
how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat?
C#m F#m7
what's it got to do with you?
Abm7
what's it got to do with me?
F#m7 B7 E
how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat?
[Interlude] E Amaj7 B
[Verse]
E Amaj7 B
corners begin to repeat, i think we're getting lost
E Amaj7 B
we walked to the end of the street but we were bitten by the frost
[Pre-Chorus]
E Emaj7 Abm7 B7
so if you have to thaw me out, you can put me in a pail
E Emaj7 Abm B7
can we take another route? i don't want to wear a veil
[Chorus]
C#m F#m7
what's it got to do with you?
Abm7
what's it got to do with me?
F#m7 C#m
how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat?
C#m F#m7
what's it got to do with you?
Abm7
what's it got to do with me?
F#m7 B E
how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat?
[Bridge]
C#m7 F#m7 Abm7 C#m7
i'll wait in the lobby for someone to show,
C#m7 F#m7 Abm7 C#m7
and if they don't come, i will know where to go
C#m7 F#m7 Abm7 C#m7
the bodies are lined up outside in the hall,
C#m7 F#m7 B7
i don't want to decay in a mall
E F#m7 Abm7 F#m7
if everything you say is true, then why would i disagree how could i lose control
[Chorus]
C#m F#m7
what's it got to do with you?
Abm7
what's it got to do with me?
F#m7 C#m
how can i lose control, when you're driving from the back seat?
C#m F#m7
what's it got to do with you?
Abm7
what's it got to do with me?
F#m7 B E
