Great song by Joel Plaskett, no one bothered to post tabs for this so I shall.
Played it acoustic once and its possible although in a video on youtube even he
says that should never be done.
Strum pattern should come from the song as its way to random to add in a tab. I only
3 notes for the D# and C# but still strum all the strings. In other words don't play a
C barre chord, cut the highest finger position.
Intro:
G# - C# - D#
Verse 1:
G# C#
I feel foolish, I wanna drink too much
D#
You look Polish
D# - E - F
Got a wicked sense of humor
F - E - D#
I feel dizzy, and I want your touch
D# D# - C# - G#
Let's get tipsy, and start a rumor.
Verse 2:
I feel restless here
I can't sit still
Everybody at this party's got their fingers in the till
I bet their parents are ridiculously loaded
Let's get moving, before I'm loaded.
G# - C# - F# (build up to chorus part)
chorus:
F#m
The dancers need a dancefloor, The swingers gotta swing,
C#m
Fashionable people doing questionable things
G#m G# - C# - F#
Fashionable, fashionable , fashionable, people (x2)
Verse 3: (same as verse 1)
I really like you, and I hope you like my band.
I like your boyfriend too,
Do you think he understands
I can't remember, how he ended up out here.
But all good things have got to start somewhere.
F#
The dancers need a dancefloor, The swingers gotta swing,
C#
Fashionable people doing questionable things
G# - C# - F#
one more time
F#
I don't wanna hang around in someone elses scene
C#
Fashionable people doing questionable things
G# G# - C# - F#
Fashionable, fashionable, fashionable, people x2
G# G# - C# - F#
Fashionable, fashionable, fashionable, fashionable people, come on
G# G# - C# - F#
Questionable, questionable, questionable things
Verse 4: (Play around basically with no chords and G# only)
So ditch him, he's no good for you
Ditch him, do the switcheroo
Switch him, switch him up with me
Leave him in the ditch, and you can hitch a ride for free
F#
The dancers need a dancefloor, The swingers gotta swing,
C#
Fashionable people doing questionable things
G# G# - C# - F#
Fashionable, fashionable, fashionable, people
That's what I'm talkin about.
G# G# - C# - F#
Fashionable, fashionable, fashionable, people
It's the truth.
G# G# - C# - F#
Fashionable, fashionable, fashionable, fashionable people.
Come on.

Questionable, questionable, questionable, things.
