This is a good band, congrats to the person who tabbed Laundry for knowing
about that song. I'm almost positive about this tab, the only part I'm not
sure about is guitar 3's part, but it sounds about right, so it should be okay.
Anyways, enjoy!

im going to use G, D, and F# instead of the actual chord names (see above))
[G]Her pretty[D] noises, can [G]you turn them [D]down?
I [G]think that I'm [D]dying, do you [G]want to go [D]out?
Because [G]we can play some [D]pac-man or go [G]to the librar[D]y
We can [G]order up some [D]Phad-Thai (?) wi[G]thout the M[D]SG
Riff 2

[G]And they write [D]books about this sort of [G]thing
And they write [D]books about this sort of [G]thing
Yeah they write [D]books about this sort of [G]thing
Closed-caption heartbeats though five letters long
I think she's gone to Nashville, she don't care for my songs
And if my heart hadn't withered then perhaps I'd trek her down
But I've got a lot to steer on so I guess I'll hang around
