This song is in 3/4 so I get lost at times, but it's a wonderful song that is 
otherwise really easy.

Play the A and the B as barre chords on the E-string like so: 

E  022100
A  577655
B  799877

E B A B

 E         B
Wandering hearts,
  A        B
Ticking together,
     E       B
But always apart,
 A        B            C#m      G#m
Open the door and the future restarts,
     A          B             E    B
But I'd never claim you were mine,
     A            B             E    B    A    B
Just if we were words we would rhyme.

Caution then regret,
A cowardly dog barking empty threats,
Backtracking,
Dancing,
As patterns are set,
But I'd never claim you were mine,
Just if we were words we would rhyme.

C#m G#m x2
Picked and processed within twenty seven days,
Delivery free.
Send me round the globe and back again to you a flower.
Wheels come off and hobble over to the next replacement of choice.
     A                          B
But you were the sentence that gave me a voice,
       B    F#m
Now I cry,
             B     A    B
As we by the by.

And I will always wonder,
How it would be if we never had met,
Life would be easier,
But dull,
I suspect,
You'd ask me to keep it discreet,
So I'll sing a song of deceit,
And I'd never claim you were mine,
Just if we were words,
We would rhyme,
G            A              B
If we were words, We would rhyme
