The song is actually played a half step lowere than shown here
but this is the easier way to play it.  If you want to play
along then transpose it down a half step.

The opening riff is the bass notes  G  F#  C  C   C   D  G
(If you can't get it listen to the song-- that goes for
everything here.)

This same riff is used for the verse but with chords.
Use A full G , full G with F# bass, C9(?), and D

Full G:--o-- G with F#:--o-- Cadd9:--o--
       --o--           --o--       --o--
       -----           -----       -----
       -----           -----       -o---
       -o---           -----       --o--
       --o--           -o---       -----

The chorus is C  G  D  D  C   G   C

Here's the song:

G    G/f#    C9   D
I asked her to stay here with me a while,  Oh she said no
These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no
And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no
Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane
O she said

C   G    D    D    C   G   D(not C as above)
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?

G   G/f#   C 9   D
So I asked her to come back some other time,  O she said no
These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-

C    G    D    D    C   G    C
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?

outro:
G    C   D   G   C   D
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well maybe next time
G   C  D    Em   C  D   G
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well Maybe next time
Em   C   D  G  Em   C  D  G
Maybe next time,  I will learn, oh yes
Maybe next time I will learn.
