If you've seen the acoustic version robbers, you'd see that Matty plays some chords that resemble power
chords. I'm not sure what they are called exactly. (Please comment below so I can improve this tab, thanks!)
This is my first tab so be as harsh as you want :P
(These are not the exact names, please correct me)
*MUTE* STRINGS G, B, (high) e.
* = One strum
If you are trying to learn this, try playing along to the acoustic version it will help!

CAPO ON 2ND FRET
*PALM MUTED THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE SONG EXCEPT WHEN PLAYING THE "Am" TRANSITION CHORD.*
[Verse 1]
E B C# A Am
She had a face straight out a magazine
E B C# A Am
God only knows but you'll never leave her
E B C# A Am
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
E B C# A
When she gets his gun he's begging, "Babe stay, stay, stay, stay, stay."
[Chorus]
E B
I'll give him one more time
C# A
We'll give you one more fight
E B
Said one more line
C# A
There'll be a riot, cause I know you
[Verse 2]
E B C# A Am
Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
E B C# A Am
And if you never eat, you'll never grow
E B C# A Am
You've got a pretty kinda dirty face
E B C# A
And when you're leaving your home she's begging you, "Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay."
[Chorus]
E B
I'll give you one more time
C# A
We'll give you one more fight
E B
Just said one more line
C# A
There'll be a riot, will I know you?
[Verse 3]
C#
Well, now that you've got your gun
B
It's much harder now the police have come
C#
Now shoot him if it's what you're worth
E *
And if you just take off your mask
B
To find out that everything's gone wrong, wrong, wrong.
[Outro]
E B
Now everybody's dead
C# A
And they're driving past my old school
E B
And he's got his gun, he's got his suit on
C A
She says, 'Babe, you look so cool'
E B
You look so cool, you look so cool, cool, cool, cool
C# A
You look so cool, you look so cool, you look so cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
