This is my first tab and I'm sure it's accurate however, feel free
to use as a rough guide. Any section can be
picked at your leisure.
There are 3 basic sections to the song excluding the outro
(which I tabbed a little shady I know). I've
named them verse, pre-chorus and chorus.
Some of the metre and timing in this song
is strange but I'm sure you just need to listen to it for rhythm and changes. Good Luck!

Verse
I'll take the alleyway today
No need for streets they just compete with other people
Walking side by side on sidewalks
With their clocks all ticking simultaneously
Pre-Chorus
That's where ill be
Stick to the alleyway with me
Verse
There is a way
Another way to go and I will take it
A secret way
Some people know about but know one ever sees
Pre-Chorus
And you will find it if your heart is open
and I'm hoping it will lead you straight to me
Chorus
B5 E5 Abm [Quick Bb5 (688xxx) if you want]
Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way
Verse
I'll take the train tracks there
The ones that run behind the houses down on Pine Street
Traveling side by side like lovers
Never crossing one another
So to speak
Pre-Chorus
And I will walk these tracks forever even if the weather
doesn't change in weeks
And though we more deserved it long ago
D#7 B5 (Goes directly into chorus)
it doesn't hurt to know their times free
Chorus
E5 Abm (Quick Bb5)
(Fast or slow)
Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way
Then go directly into chorus again
Fast or slow...
The Outro you can play octaves
