Chords used:
E (022100)
Abm (466000)
A(577000)
C#m (046600)
B (799000)
E2 (079900)
After chorus just keep strumming E for a few times. Same goes for the 'yeah, yeah,
yeah' part just before the bridge. A really easy and fun song to play and sing along with.
Verse:
E Abm C#m B
I've been having a horrible time etc...
Chorus:
E Abm A E
Why all good things should fall apart...
Bridge:
C#m E2 B Abm C#m
Like when we would take rides...

For the quieter parts, I just play a power chord instead of the whole chord to give it a
little dynamics. The other tab I read on here was wrong.
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
I've having a horrible time
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
Pulling myself together
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
I've been closing my eyes to find
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
The old, familiar failures
Open chords up here
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
I've been having a horrible time
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
Pulling myself together
E G#m C#m B E/G#m/C#m/B
I've been closing my eyes to find
E G#m A E
Why all good things should fall apart X4
Hold on E for a bit, then go into the next verse
Same as above, stays quiet until the last line
I've been having a horrible time
Pulling myself together
I've been closing my eyes to find
Why all good things should fall apart X4
Same deal, hold on E, do the yeahs!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
C#m E2
Like when we would take rides
B G#m A Am
In your American muscle car
C#m E2
I felt American for once in my life
B G#m A Am
I never felt it again
E G#m A E
So all good things should fall apart X4
