Notes: this song is on piano with a few faint lead guitar riffs in C minor. I've roughly tabbed the main piano part, the rest I've just done as chords. For simplicity, I've used a capo, with all chords are relative to the capo.

capo 3 
 
VERSE 1: 
A5           G5                  F5 
  Suddenly I can't stay in this room. 
             A5                       G5               F5 
You'll never sway, and I have nothing left that I can think of to say. 
A5                    G5              F5 
  What do you want me to think of my thought? 
           A5                  G5                      F5 
Bear it in mind, if I cannot believe in me who will I then be? 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
 D5                             E5           F5             G5 
    And so I'll run but not too far, incase you chase me, oh... 
 
CHORUS: 
A5     C5              G5     A5 
   But this is how it goes, baby. 
A5          C5             G5                 A5 
   I'll get angry at your words and I'll go home 
A5     C5              G5       A5 A5            C5               G5 
   And you won't call after me    'cos I'll be back before you know, you know...

VERSE 2: 
A5             G5                  F5 
  So give me a tooth full of that smile, 
                A5 
and know-it-all eyes you show me  
        G5                            F5 
just to prove that you don't need to lose it. 
A5                   G5             F5 
You tell me I'm your fortress of desire 
            A5                     G5 
but is it a crime for me to say my own view 
                     F5 
and want then not to fear you? 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
 D5                             E5           F5             G5 
    And so I'll run but not too far, incase you chase me, oh... 
 
CHORUS: 

{over chorus, lead guitar plays this note: D | -10- |  with a certain rhythm , listen to track) 
A5     C5              G5     A5 
   But this is how it goes, baby. 
A5          C5             G5                 A5 
   I'll get angry at your words and I'll go home 
A5     C5              G5       A5 A5            C5               G5                A5 
   And you won't call after me    'cos I'll be back before you know, you know... 
A5              C5               G5 (hold) 
   yeah I'll be back before you know...
