This is a pretty number off Town by Town. It's fairly simple. I am going by the 
album version since I have not heard them play it live.

Intro:
E5    G5   C5 D5   G5

Verse 1:
G5
My heart is like the white line
C5             D5             C5        D5    G5
Divided, separated in these feelings over you
G5
My mind, it is also like the white line      when without a bassist,
C5         D5            C5       D5     G5       walk down G5 G G5
Endlessly searching, a man without a clue

Chorus:
E5                               G5           D5
You've got me thinking there's a fire down below
C5                    G5             D5            G5     
'Round and 'round in circles is as far as I can go
C5                            G5      G/f# E5
Same old repetition, feeling up and down again
G5           C5   D5 *
Sorrow is a highway
   C5     D5        G5
It never seems to end

Verse 2:
G5
Another day, it is ending
  C5              D5  
I feel my feet upon the ground
    C5         D5    G5
And know they walk alone
G5
What do I care now though if another day is ending
    C5               D5              C5         D5      G5
The days will end until my name is carved in stone alone

Verse 3:
G5
The time has come for leavin'
    C5             D5            C5      D5         G5
The time to fall away like the pedals leave the rose
G5
But what good does this leavin'
      C5                   D5
I can still hear my heart breakin'
    C5        D5     G5
the sound it never goes

[ Chorus ]

    C5                           G5      G/f# E5
The same old repetition feelin' up and down again
G5          C5   D5 *
Sorry is a highway
   C5     D5        G5
It never seems to end

Outro: Intro chords

*The riff played runs down G Aeolian starting at A on the 3rd string after the D 
chord. I just mess around with it, Adam is too fast.
