The Verse is all  E (with a hammer on sus4) F#m(with a pull off 7th) 
The Chorus is , , , 

For the sake of speedy tabbing, I will ignore the hammer on & pull offs in the 
verses, listen to it and you can
figure out the timing.  
This is a song off his upcoming album.. You can listen to it here:



We are young we have
years ahead maybe
we might fall in love
             
or fall apart
          
fall apart
         
Before it ends well we
                 
should try to start

         
   So I’ll go
                        
   But I’m telling you I don’t
          
   want to go
                             
   I could be stuck here and happy


There’s a puzzle I
work on endlessly
and I’ve got all the sides and all the corners
               
But there’s a space
               
Oh there’s a space
            
Lost some pieces I
            
can’t replace

           
   So I’ll be
                         
   But I’m telling you I don’t
          
   want to be
                      
   Just a wasted puzzle piece


We are old and our son
took the dog away
and fair enough guess we’re
               
tired all the time
          
all the time
             
and you know dogs they need
                
ample time outside

           
   So I’ll stay
                         
   But I’m telling you I don’t
           
   want to stay

                  
So I’ll brace myself against the wall
                      
and hope to God that I don’t fall
                 
My bones are worn my hip won’t hold
          
I used to be so young 
         
How did I get so old  
                      
Won’t you take my cane and hold my hand
                    
You’re holding on to all I have
                  
just a basket full of memories
                         
and I am loosing more each day it seems 
                 
but if I can make it to the street 
              
I’ll steal a car or a bike
              
whatever there is to steal
                   
and it might get cold I just don’t care
                   
I’m going till I’m getting there
                     
I’ll ride my steed all through this town

till I.........

have looked
    
till I have found
            
Your peaceful memory

               
Won’t you return to me
               
Won’t you return to me
