Tab
4.6(16)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Retune to an E-chord(like for shine)

Capo on 2nd fret, tab is relative to capo

s - slide

p - just keep on strumming

the slidey part is barely audible, but play it anyway

"I went looking..."

then, at "I hadn't noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew, the void between us..."
