COUGH SYRUP - Young the Giant
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:McAvro
Tuning:Standard
Capo at 2
The other tabs for this song didn't quite get the right picking pattern.
I'm fairly certain that the intro is correct,
although the strumming pattern after the first chorus is open for interpretation.
Any corrections are welcome.

(Verse 1)
C G
Life's too short to even care at all oh
F G
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
C G
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
F G
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum Oh
(Chorus)
Am
If I could find a way to see this straight
G
I'd run away
F
To some fortune that I
Am G
should have found by now
F Am G
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
