                             Portland Is Leaving






The harmonica part is also super easy to figure out. He uses a harmonica in the note of
A, but the tuning for the guitar is standard. 



A          002220
E          022100
D1         557775
Bm         224432
C#m        x46654
D          000232
**D1 isn't the actual name for the chord, it's just another variation of D.**

A                  E                    D1                        A
Come along with me now ‘cause there are things I’ve been dying to tell you
A                     E               D1              A
The best or the worst things that you never needed to know
A                   E                     D1                  A
This is the kind of comedy where no one’s laughing ‘cause it’s hard to
A                      E                    Bm             D1
I’m a punch line who’s punch-drunk with my fist in a broken mirror
          A             E     Bm
There’s a party nearby, I can hear
A               E                Bm       D1
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
A                 E               Bm      D1
Sounds too simple but love is the only answer
C#m                      D
      Everything else is just a train wreck

A, C#m, D1, A
A, E, D, A

A             E               D1                   A     
Gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life
A                     E            D1                A
Till the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined
A                       C#m                  D1      A
You might ask me aren’t you dead inside and so damn tired
A                E
I say I have no idea
        Bm            D1           A           E      Bm
I’m not sleepin’ until after the dying is over, I can hear
A               E                Bm          D1
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
A                 E               Bm      D1
Sounds too simple but love is the only answer
C#m                         D
      Love’s a train wreck, you’re a mistake

Sometimes it's more convenient to play the barre chord than the open chord.
Also, at the end of the lines in the verses, he likes to play the C# (note, not chord) 
the A chord (second fret on the b string if you're playing an open A chord or sixth fret 
the g string if you're playing the barre chord.
