Hi everyone, this song is actually played out of Eb 
but I transposed it so that you can play it with open chords. 
I also shortened it into a nice little acoustic version. 
It sounds just as nice and if you have seen 
"My Life as Liz", this is how the song was played and sung, Enjoy ^_^

Intro & 1st Verse:

        F          C         G           Am         Am

B|---10---10-------8-------------------------------------------|
G|-10------------9---9-------7---------5---5------5---5--------|
D|------------10-----------9---9-----7----------7--------------|
A|----------------------10-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|

I'm coming up only to hold you under
To know you is hard we wonder
To know you all wrong they were

Ooooh Ooooh
Ooooh Ooooh

It's really too late to call so we wait for 
Morning to wake you it's all we got 
To the outside the dead leaves they blow like
Before they died they had trees to hang their hope

G|-0------|
D|-0------|
A|-2------|
E|-3------|
