Tuning: Standard. 

Descending 
By
Butch Walker

From the album Stay Gold

Tabbed for one acoustic. He normally plays this song on piano, I found one video of him doing it acoustic on 
YouTube, and still couldn't figure out exactly what he's playing, so this is how I've been playing it.

[Intro]

Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb (x2)


[Verse]
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
Maybe I'm just scared of landing
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
Maybe you are too
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
It's a beautiful misunderstanding
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
From my point of view

Am                  C
Can you feel it now?
                     D
The wheels are coming down


[Chorus]

       C                   G
I just want you to worry about me
Em7                 D
Every once in awhile
       C                 G              D
I just need a sign of life to get me by
         C                     G
You can't fake a smile forever
       Em7          D           C
From a mouth that once was mine
Am               Em7         D   
Is it over or finally beginning 
C        G      Em7      D
Descending...

[Verse]
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
There's a memory I keep having
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
And I don't know what it means
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
We’re not falling, we’re not flying
Em7/G  A7sus4/Gb Em7  A7sus4/Gb
It's somewhere in between

Am                 C
Can you say it now?
                   D
I feel it slowing down


[Chorus]

       C                   G
I just want you to worry about me
Em7                 D
Every once in awhile
       C                 G              D
I just need a sign of life to get me by
         C                     G
You can't fake a smile forever
       Em7          D           C
From a mouth that once was mine
Am               Em7         D   
Is it over or finally beginning
C        G      Em7      D
Descending...

N.C. (vocal only) 
Holding 
Steady
You're restless 
I'm ready

[Chorus]

       C                   G
I just want you to worry about me
Em7                 D
Every once in awhile
       C                 G              D
I just need a sign of life to get me by
         C                     G
You can't fake a smile forever
       Em7          D           C
From a mouth that once was mine
Am               Em7         D  
Is it over or finally beginning
C        G      Em7      D
Descending...
