To quote a line of the song, I missed this band for 29 years before I finally listened to them.
Here you don't need "to get closer" because you have the original acoustic version performed by Matt Berninger and Aaron Dessner (see video). So I don't understand why someone plays the Am variation like 0 0 2 2 1 0 / 0 0 0 2 1 0. That's not what Dessner plays in the clip.

I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning

CI wanna hurry home to you
FPut on a slow, dumb show for you Am Am7 Am Am7
GAnd crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very, very frightening
I'll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you
And crack you up

So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very, very frightening
I'll overdo it
