With kudos to the previous version upon which I have based this, thanks to Mikhailo. I think there are a few
changes needed and some additional chords to make it sound right, notably in the chorus. Also re-positioned
chords to match with the words where the chord changes take place and added the single worded outro.
My first tab guys so I welcome constructive feedback.

[verse]
    A       E            F#m                   
if you get out before September
   C#m         D           A
remember that I'm still inside 
         B       E
but I'm dry I'm dry 
     A            E             F#m
and you when you try to make a difference 
           C#m               D  A
you're so different and then I try 
          B     E
and just die I die
     A           E
You know that I need 
                F#m
you more than I want ya 
      C#m              D
but I want ya for all time 
    E                  A               
so I'm I guess on the line.


 [chorus] 
D            Dm            A                A7                    
its all that I can do to sing-these stupid songs to you 
D          Dm                  A                 A7        
I give up half  my time just trying-to think up words that rhyme 
D              Dm           A                F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know 
        G           E
so its on with the show 

 [verse]

     A        E                  F#m 
Sometimes a smoke a drink and a ponder 
           C#m                D  
can work wonders when you're down 
            A             B     E
takes your frown turns it round around 
     A            E              F#m
and you when you try to make a difference 
           C#m                D  A
you're no different than when I try
          B     E
and just die I die  
     A             E             F#m
and now that your day dream is forgotten
       C#m             D        
and forgiven and the world 
           E        A    
has been saved be brave 

 [chorus] 
D            Dm            A                A7                    
its all that I can do to sing-these stupid songs to you 
D          Dm                  A                 A7        
I give up half  my time just trying-to think up words that rhyme 
D              Dm           A                F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G              F#m
cos i walk in shadow
G               F#m
and i never ever ever really showed my face
G                                    A
but i'm only ever see in the right place
