Hey guys, my sister likes this song and I'm looking for easy songs to play, so 
I ear-transcribed this and it's pretty nice and easy!  (Still can't play the 
chords fast enough myself, but oh well...)  I noticed that there are some other
chords for this song out there but I think this version sounds a bit more like 
the recorded version because it uses a capo, though it's probably still not 
perfect.

UPDATED: One commenter asked for the chords for the last chorus, so here's my
best guess!

IMPORTANT: Use a capo!
Capo 5th fret

Em7                             Dsus4      B7                       C
    What if I never let you win,     chase you with a rolling pin?
                   G
Well what if I do?

 Cmaj7 Dsus4  G    G7
I am giving up on making passes and

 Cmaj7 D       G

What if our baby comes home after nine?
What it your eyes close before mine?
What if you lose yourself sometimes? Then I'll be the one to find you
Safe in my heart
