Okay, these are the EXACT RIGHT CHORDS, and you can play them exactly this
way if you want. Being that I'm using a ukulele, I play it differently
because some of these chords don't even exist in ukulele world. I don't know
how my simplified version would sound on a guitar, but you can give it a
shot.

My simplified chords:
Em7 = Em
Em7/B = B
Em7/A = Em
Em7/G = Em
Em/G = G
Em7/D = D
D/F# = D

The simplification probably won't work on a guitar, but maybe it will.

Anyway, here is the COMPLETE AND UNSIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE SONG

TUNE YOUR GUITAR DOWN A SEMITONE (though I don't, and it sounds fine.)

Intro:

Em7 - Em7 - Em7/B - Em7/B - Em7/A - Em7/A - Em/G - Em/D

Em7
I know what you want
         Em7/B
I wanna take you to a midnight show tonight
   Em7
If you can keep a secret
           Em7/B
I've got a blanket in the backseat on my mind,
      C (x32010@1)               Bm (x24432@1)             Em7
And a little place that sits beneath the sky.

    C (x32010@1)                BmShe (x24432@1)turned her face to speak,
           D (xx0232@1)But no one heard her cry.
-mute-------  Em7    Em7/B

             Em7/A (00x030@1)name="chord_322000@1">Em/G  Em7/DDrive (020030@1)faster, boy-----Yeah--

Em7
I know there's a hope.
                 Em7/B
There's too many people trying to help me cope.
             Em7
You've got a real short skirt,
        Em7/B
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah.
Em7
We were just in time,
              Em7/B
Let me take a little more off your mind.
        Em7
There's something in my head, 
Somewhere in the back said:
Em7/B
We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing.

C (x32010@1)          Bm (x24432@1)         Em7
Make it go away without a word.
    C (x32010@1)               BmBut (x24432@1)promise me you'll stay,
              Dand (xx0232@1)fix these things I've hurt.
-mute strings-----  Em7  Em7/B

  C (x32010@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)          Em7
A crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl.
     C (x32010@1)                 Bm (x24432@1)                 Em7
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls.
  C (x32010@1)            Bm (x24432@1)                AmI (x02210@1)took my baby's breath, beneath the chandelier.

                D/F# (200232@1)     D (xx0232@1)              Em7  Em7/B
And watched her disappear, into the midnight show----
