Some of the chords I use aren't the exact chords used in the recording, but I 
think it sounds fine.
(Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret)
INTRO:
Em G Am C (x3)
Em                     G
Scratched out a note I wrote for you 
Am 
to wake and read 
             C           Em
to know that I was there once
                                   G                Am
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you 
   C
of my return
    Em                      G
But all the paper said when I was done is 
Am            C
do you still want me?
Em                                   G                Am
because I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
           C      
We haven't saved the baby
D
As I said 
my darling 
          C                  D
spring is constantly calling me
            C                        E
and there's no place that I'd rather be
Em   G        Am 
   I won't be angry 
   D           Em
if you have to leave, 
      G        Am
but I won't be waiting
D            Em
for that day
         G          Am           
So don't say you�re sorry because
D       Em       G       Am
I won't believe, I won't believe you 
Em                          G            Am  
Didn't see a sticker on the door when we walked in
                C        
but I know it's going to cost us 
    Em                     G                Am
the same amount of love it takes to get you through
       C
but it never moves you
Em                           G                   Am
I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
             C          
It's where I threw my love away
Em                              G              Am
Then we saw a different side of "Annie" nobody saw 
             C        
She tried to kill the baby
D         
  and the earth and its skin will open up
    C                          D
and birth out a perfect mirror 
           C                   E
that makes all our reflections clear
Em   G        Am
   I won't be angry 
   D           Em
if you have to leave, 
      G        Am
but I won't be waiting
D            Em
for that day
         G          Am      
So don't say you're sorry because
D       Em       G          Am
I won't believe, I won't believe you
OUTRO:
Em G Am C
