Hi, this is my first tab for a great song...the other version on here was pretty 
good but not quite right for me. I've also tabbed out the intro riff, it might not 
be in the right octave, but you can work it out. Enjoy!

Intro riff (x2):

e|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--10~--10-10--------------------------------------|
A|-------------12-10~--------10-12------------------|
E|---------------------10-12-------12--10--8~-------|

VERSE 1
           C                    Am
There's a game that's always played
       F            G
And always won by fools
     Em          F
But everyone I know
       C                       G
Would rather never play than lose

            C                    Am
There's a place where the innocent stand
    F                     G
Proud before the firing squad
            Em                      F
There's a church at the end of the path
           C                        G
Where the sign reads beware of the God


Bridge:
Am
And there's you in the alley
F
And there's me walking away
C
Those three words still hang in the air 
G
That I swore I would never say


CHORUS (x2):
C
So hold on now, Just hold on a minute
F
This car's not leaving if you're not in it
Am
You've no idea how lucky we are
F
A would that deep would normally scar


Intro Riff (x1)


VERSE 2
    C                                 Am
I heard there was a place where the light
F                           G
managed to cut through the dark
      Em               F
But that was just a story for children
         C                           G
And my chest is just a grave for my heart

           C                    Am
There's a phone that's always ringin'
F                        G
Answer, and a child will say
            Em          F
I'd rather take my own life
C               G
then give it away


Bridge:
Am
And there's you under the west way
F
for to hide from the rain
C
And I'm taking your picture
G
To be sure that I'll see you again


CHORUS (x2)


           Am
But I've seen willows holding hands
        F
heard birds sing in harmony
        C
The bodies of water are caressed by land
          G
And the river's mouth is kissing the sea (alright!)


Sax Solo:

C  F  Am  F


CHORUS (repeats and fades out)


And that's about it! As much as I can make of this great song! Any corrections 
just comment, thanks! :)
