Some of the chords I use aren't the exact chords used in the recording, but I 
think it sounds fine.

(Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret)

INTRO:

Em G Am C (x3)

Em                     G
Scratched out a note I wrote for you 

Am 
to wake and read 

             C           Em
to know that I was there once

                                   G                Am
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you 

   C
of my return

    Em                      G
But all the paper said when I was done is 

Am            C
do you still want me?

Em                                   G                Am
because I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today

           C      
We haven't saved the baby

D
As I said 


my darling 

          C                  D
spring is constantly calling me

            C                        E
and there's no place that I'd rather be



Em   G        Am 
   I won't be angry 

   D           Em
if you have to leave, 

      G        Am
but I won't be waiting

D            Em
for that day

         G          Am           
So don't say you?re sorry because

D       Em       G       Am
I won't believe, I won't believe you 



Em                          G            Am  
Didn't see a sticker on the door when we walked in

                C        
but I know it's going to cost us 

    Em                     G                Am
the same amount of love it takes to get you through

       C
but it never moves you

Em                           G                   Am
I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today

             C          
It's where I threw my love away

Em                              G              Am
Then we saw a different side of "Annie" nobody saw 

             C        
She tried to kill the baby


D         
  and the earth and its skin will open up

    C                          D
and birth out a perfect mirror 

           C                   E
that makes all our reflections clear


Em   G        Am
   I won't be angry 

   D           Em
if you have to leave, 

      G        Am
but I won't be waiting

D            Em
for that day

         G          Am      
So don't say you're sorry because

D       Em       G          Am
I won't believe, I won't believe you
