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 (022100@1)       BWandering (x2444x@1)hearts,
  A (x02220@1)      BTicking (x2444x@1)together,
     E (022100@1)     BBut (x2444x@1)always apart,
 A (x02220@1)      B (x2444x@1)          C#m (x13321@4)    G#mOpen (133111@4)the door and the future restarts,
     A (x02220@1)        B (x2444x@1)           E (022100@1)  BBut (x2444x@1)I'd never claim you were mine,
     A (x02220@1)          B (x2444x@1)           E (022100@1)  B (x2444x@1)  A (x02220@1)  BJust (x2444x@1)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 (x02220@1)                        BBut (x2444x@1)you were the sentence that gave me a voice,
       B (x2444x@1)  F#mNow (244222@1)I cry,
             B (x2444x@1)   A (x02220@1)  BAs (x2444x@1)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 (320003@1)          A (x02220@1)            BIf (x2444x@1)we were words, We would rhyme
