This is just my simplified version of the tabs already here which I find much easier to play.

Basically you're just using F, C, Am and G all throughout. Listen to the song and you'll 
the rhythm right.

F        C
   This song
   Am            G               F
Is one I never thought that I'd play
                   C
But if you want me gone
           Am           G
There are kinder ways to say
F      C          Am            G
   So long than spitting in my face

             F
They don?t teach these things in school

They just lay down the rules
                           C       Am      G
Which are there for you to break
            F              C       Am      G
Which are there for you to break

F            C
    If I?m wrong
      Am              G              F
Then dust me off and put me in my place, but
        C
Drop a bomb
           Am           G              F
Shall you blow me away without even a trace?
         C       Am            G
I?ll be gone and I won?t give chase

       F
?Cause when you?re in pieces, you pick up the bits, and nothing fits, and the wind blows
     C    Am    G
You away
        F               C    Am    G
Oh, the wind blows you away
        F               C    Am    G
Oh, the wind blows you away
        F               C    Am    G
Oh, the wind blows you away

[vocalization]

F       C
    I pray
            Am                   G                 F
There will come a time when I think of you and I smile
       C
These days
 Am                  G           F
Everything seems to last only a while
              C
Remember the names
         Am                    G
For the day when we?d have a child

          F
But the trouble with dreams, they?re not what they seem, ?cause when you awake, they 
through your fingers
     C      Am     G
In flakes
      F                             C       Am       G
They fall through your fingers in flakes
      F                             C       Am       G
They fall through your fingers in flakes
      F                             C       Am       G
They fall through your fingers in flakes
