Capo 2nd fret
main chord change is: D5  A5  E5

(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:

D5  A5  E5  E5  4x (play E5 two times, also in the verses)
D5  E5 2x

Verse:

D5 2        
          A5         E5                    D5
don?t it look like rain, mama
          A5       E5                      D5
don?t it look so cold outside 
         A5            E5                  D5
all the people seem scared and tired
             A5           E5               D5
and all the stars seem alight 
           A5          E5                  D5
there?s no use in the air, anymore mama
           A5            E5                D5
there?s no use in their eyes

        A5               E5                D5
i just come to say it?s over
        A5               E5                D5
i just come to say goodbye 
           A5             E5               D5
i won?t compete with the absent
           A5              E5              D5
i won?t compete for the prize

E5  A5  D5  A5

          A5          E5                   D5
all them faces are glowing, mama
           A5            E5                D5
you can?t see what?s inside
           A5             E5               D5
there?s no use for them being anymore
              A5             E5            D5
they got the calls in their eyes
            A5           E5                D5
it seems a waste to be careless, mama
                A5            E5           D5
there?s no-one here left to fight

E5  A5  D5  A5

Am(4.fret)           A5               D5  E5                 
something - give me something, we?re fallin away
            Am(4.fret)     A5            D5   E5                  
through the minds and the notions we?ve only depraved
       Am(4.fret) A5           D5      E5                   
it?s a tired imitation that calls your name
        Am(4.fret) A5           D5        E5                  
it?s a cursed invitation that haunts your grave

D5
        A5               E5                D5
i just come to say it?s over
        A5               E5                D5
i just come to say goodbye 
           A5             E5               D5
i won?t compete with the absent
           A5              E5              D5
i won?t compete for the prize


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