This is how I play this wee tune on my acoustic

*** Capo 2nd fret ***
(everything relative to this)

(You could easily enough ditch the capo and play barre chords with the chords shifted up 
tones i.e Em becomes F#m, C becomes D etc; which I imagine is how the band play it. I 
wanted to show you my take on the tune)


Em             C
Em             C

VERSE
Em                     C
I've been sitting here patiently
          Em             C
I've been talking too myself
Em                           C
Trying to shake that sinking feeling
Em                     C
Wishing I was somebody else

Am                  Em
And I know it's not easy
         Am                   Em
When you don't get what you deserve
    Am               Em
You can say that you love me
    F                    G
But that's not what I've heard

VERSE

All the way back to turnpike lane
Find me a girl that can calm me right down
It's been such a fucked up year

Get me a ticket for an aeroplane
I'm tired of been alone

Bm  Em
You met your match
C     D
Stars catch your eyes
Bm  Em
You cry a bed
C      D
You've met your match
You burn like fire
I'd hire your love
You trust your man
You burn like a fire
I steal I lie I try with you
You built your love
You steal you lie
And love too steal
Like me you try
You cry a bed
You met your match
