Fmaj                                  C
        You' re spinning me around
                                Fmaj
My feet are off the ground
                                   C
I don' t know where I stand
                                     Fmaj
Do you have to hold my hand
                   C                    Fmaj                C
You mistify me, you mistify me, you mistify me

        Fmaj                                      C
Ohuhoh, when you walked into the room
                           Fmaj
it happened oh so soon
                          C
I didn' t want to know
                                    Fmaj
Does you really have to go
                   C                    Fmaj                 C

                                     C                        Fmaj
And I couldn' t find the words to say I love you
                                    C                        Fmaj
And I couldn' t find the time to say I need you
                                       C
They wouldn' t come out right
                                      Fmaj
They wouldn' t come out right
                            C
Just came out all wrong


         Fmaj
Ohuhoh, you' re spinning me...

Here the other guitar gives 3 (on the third fret) to string e

Fmaj           C                  Fmaj             C    Fmaj
Oh do you know where to go, where to go
                               C                              Fmaj
Something on your mind wanna leave me behind,
                              C
wanna leave me behind

and again with the violins :

The same chords are used throughout the song, except sometimes
the Csus4 may be just plain C.

    Dm            Bb               F               C
    Sitting in an armchair with my head between my hands
    Dm               Bb                    F         C
    Wouldn't have to be like this if you'd only understand
    Dm          Bb             F              C
    Too many misunderstandings causing such delay
    Dm            Bb                  F           C
    If it doesn't work like this I'll try another way

    Dm Bb F                   C
    Oh....this is the way you wanted it
    Dm Bb   F           C
    Oh....I didn't understand
    Oh....this is the way you wanted it
    Oh....I didn't understand
        Dm              Bb            F                C
    You know that all I wanted was to be there by your side
        Dm            Bb               F                C
    And if you didn't want it then you shouldn't have denied
        Dm                 Bb              F              C
    You knew that you were someone special right from the start
        Dm              Bb            F           C
    But if you treat me badly we'd be better off apart

    Oh...this is the way you wanted it
    Oh...I didn't understand
    Oh...this is the way you wanted it
    Oh...I didn't understand

            Dm
    Understand

Elevated warbling to finish.

Am Fmaj7 G

Am               Fmaj7          G
Still can't recognise the way I feel I feel I feel
   Am           Fmaj7      G
Nothing of what you said to me was real
        Am                   Fmaj7            G
And you still can't find the strength to apologize, uh-gize, uh-gize, a-lies.
         Am                  Fmaj7           G
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies

                  Am                 Fmaj7              G
Cuz you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all
                           Am              Fmaj7           G
No, and there's nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all

Am                Fmaj7           G
Maybe if you could see beyond your nose, your nose, your nose, who knows?
Am                   Fmaj7         G
Nothing of what had happened surely shows.
Am              Famj7               G
But your ego excelled and then your additude,
        Am                   Fmaj7
And you went on laughing and shoutin, "It's all too shrewd."

                  Am                 Fmaj7              G
Cuz you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all
                           Am              Fmaj7           G
No, and there's nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all

               Am          Fmaj7             G
La de da de da de de da da de de de da da da da

La de da de da de de da da de de de da da da da

Am               Fmaj7          G
Still can't recognise the way I feel I feel I feel

Nothing of what you said to me was real

And you still can't find the strength to apologize, uh-gize, uh-gize, a-lies.
         Am                  Fmaj7           G

                  Am                 Fmaj7              G

                           Am              Fmaj7           G

          Am             Fmaj7              G
Wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all
          Am             Fmaj7              G
Wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all.

Fade out repeating Am Fmaj7 G.

 I Will always

You can play C Cmaj7 C(add9) C Cmaj7 and repeat.
Or play those chords, then FMaj7 F? Dm(add9) then go back to C and repeat this whole 
over and over again.
Also, the song breaks off into F Fmaj7/B F G G6 G F Fmaj7/B F G G#
(This is actually my own redition of it. It's not exactly how The
Cranberries play it.)
