This is from their "who we are instead" album.
Good, rootsy song that's easy to play.
I mostly just play chords throughout with a few strings picked here and there. For
the intro is just C and G strummed, with some simple sliding and walking on the A and E
similar style with the solo.
Just listen to the song on the album and play around with it.

Verse 1:
C G
I'm a fair weather friend, I'm a colorless view
C G
But I'm willin' to make a deal
C G
If you think you can make some faith here inside
C G
I'll drive off and marry you

You're a sight for sore eyes and a newborn cry
In a year where there are so few

Though my heart has been torn by loves I have worn
And I'm tempted by them ever still

You hold my affections and will
