I watched their acoustic video on YouTube and zoomed up close to see how Toby was
playing because all of the other tabs were not the original and figured it out.

[Verse 4]
Here the voices kind of switch roles;
Toby (the one with the guitar) becomes the melody,
and Devin (the one without the guitar) becomes the harmony.
The following lines are parenthesized as such.

Bb|-2------------------|-------------------3------------------------|
Gb|-3------------------|-------------------4------------------------|
Db|-0------------------|-------------------4------------------------|

   (Now I am drowning in / Your shallow sea, I swear,)

And toss me away, I fell apart when I fell for you
(You are the waves that toss me away)
