Capo 2nd fret
main chord change is: D9  A  E

(you can play it without capo, if you're able to play the whole song with barr?-chords)

(you can also play normal D instead of Dsus2, but i actually think Dsus2 sounds better)

Intro:

D9  A  E  E  4x (play E two times, also in the verses)
D9  E 2x

Verse:

D4 2        
          A         E                    D9
don?t it look like rain, mama
          A       E                      D9
don?t it look so cold outside 
         A            E                  D9
all the people seem scared and tired
             A           E               D9
and all the stars seem alight 
           A          E                  D9
there?s no use in the air, anymore mama
           A            E                D9
there?s no use in their eyes

        A               E                D9
i just come to say it?s over
        A               E                D9
i just come to say goodbye 
           A             E               D9
i won?t compete with the absent
           A              E              D9
i won?t compete for the prize

E  A  D9  A

          A          E                   D9
all them faces are glowing, mama
           A            E                D9
you can?t see what?s inside
           A             E               D9
there?s no use for them being anymore
              A             E            D9
they got the calls in their eyes
            A           E                D9
it seems a waste to be careless, mama
                A            E           D9
there?s no-one here left to fight

E  A  D9  A

Am(4.fret)           A               D9  E                 
something - give me something, we?re fallin away
            Am(4.fret)     A            D9   E                  
through the minds and the notions we?ve only depraved
       Am(4.fret) A           D9      E                   
it?s a tired imitation that calls your name
        Am(4.fret) A           D9        E                  
it?s a cursed invitation that haunts your grave

D9
        A               E                D9
i just come to say it?s over
        A               E                D9
i just come to say goodbye 
           A             E               D9
i won?t compete with the absent
           A              E              D9
i won?t compete for the prize


Hope the chords fit for you. I'm not pretty sure about the lyrics.
