If this isn't right, I think it's pretty damned close. I'm just going
by memory right now and any corrections are of course welcome.

E                          2 4 5 4h5p4
B   0 1 3 3  0 1 3 1 0 0 1             2
G 0                                       2 0   2 0
D                                             4
A
E

There is a short series of harmonics after this which can be
simulated pretty close with the B G and D strings muted just
enough so they don't ring clear.

E
B   7   3   5
G    7   3   5
D     7   3   5

D               G                            Am
Can I have this dance      My you're looking pretty
                   D                       G
Is There something wrong  Did he leave you hurting
                Em                         Am
I don't mean to pry, but that tear in your eye
         G    Am
Gave you a-way

(still working on the riff, but I'm getting closer)

                     G                  Am
If you don't want to talk we'll keep in quiet
                D
But sometimes a heartache
                   G
Hurts worse if you hide it
                  Em               Am
I think there's a chance, one slow dance
               G   Am
Might ease the pain

D            G               Am
You have the right to remain silent
                  D                  G
Anything that you say As I hold you Against me
Am           D                       G  Am
Will forever be a secret, between us two
D                 G                  Am
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it
                  D                   Em
And now that he's gone, at last I can show it
                 Am                          D
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
                 G
Lay your love on me

   Am            D         G
So many times my eyes have held you
Am                  D             G
Tonight please give my heart that chance
Em                    B              C
If you don't feel the need for conversation
Em                 C                    D    E
We'll just let our hearts talk while we dance

N.C.         A               Bm
You have the right to remain silent
                  E                  A
Anything that you say as I hold you against me
       Bm         E                 A  Bm
Will forever be a secret between us two
     E            A                  Bm
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it
                  E                   F#m
And now that he's gone, at last I can show it
                 Bm
If your heart is tired for the rest of your life
                 A
Lay your love on me
                 Bm
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
                 A
Lay your love on me

Outro - Bm  E  A

(still working on the tab for the outro as well, it's progressing a
little slower)

Anyone who has it figured out let me know.

I think the chords are really close and thanks goes out to Jason Neus
for letting me use 'em, and any errors are probably mine - not his.
