Listen to the track for the strum/picking pattern.


F             Am           C        F
    don’t you swing like a child,
         Am         C        F
    in a tree, on a tire, in 85?
               Am            C         F
    there’s an arc that your feet will ride
           Am          C             F
    on the way between hate and that sunday fire
F
    (and that sunday fire)

C


Am              F
    you look so serious
Am                  F
    oh, you look so serious
Dm               F
    the night is serving us
Dm                  F
    but you look so serious



C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it


Not perfect but you get the idea

                                 (overdrive fades in)    

         Am     F      C
    this simple friday night
                 Am        F    C
    where you’re loosening your tie
                  Am           F    C
    but there's a tightness in your eyes



Am              F
    you look so serious
Am                     F
    why do you look so serious?
Dm               F
    the night is serving us
Dm              F
    and we’re deserving it

                  
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it
C               Am
    (this could be all we're owed)
C                    F
    (all we're owed, all we're getting)
C                  Am
    and this could be our reward
C              F
    this could be it

F

         Am     F      C
    this simple friday night
                 Am        F    C
    when you’re loosening your tie
                  Am           F    C
    but there's a tightness in your eyes


    F           Am           C         F (Listen for pattern)
    cause if we swing like a child
               Am         C           F
    then we’re always colliding this time of night
            Am               C                  F
    but our arcs, they could align   (we could align! we could align!)
             Am      C             F
    and over gravity up comes this kicking child
         F
    this kicking child


E|----------|         
B|----------|        
G|----------|         
D|----2---2-|     
A|--3---3---|
E|----------|  ...

Continue that picking pattern with this harmonized scale:

E|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|----0----2----4----5----7----9-----|
A|----2----3----5----7----9----10----|
E|-----------------------------------|

Listen to the song for the progression. Towards the end strum both strings at  the same time.

enjoy!
