Ok, so there are a lot of tabs for this song that come close, but not quite.  They have 
right chords, just not the right positions.  I figured it out a while ago and then saw 
in concert last week.  After watching Chris play this song, I can tell you this is 100% accurate.


Capo: 2nd fret (Notes relative)

VERSE 1:
               G/BShe (143121@7)smiled in a big way
                         D/F#The (200232@1)way a girl like that smiles
                  CWhen (x32010@1)the world is hers. And she held your eyes
              G/B (143121@7)               D/F#Out (200232@1)in the breezeway, down by the shore
               CIn (x32010@1)the lazy summer
                   G/BAnd (143121@7)she pulled you in
                 D/F#And (200232@1)she bit your lip
                   CAnd (x32010@1)she made you hers
           G/BShe (143121@7)looked deep into you as you lay together
D/F# (200232@1)                        CQuiet (x32010@1)in the grasp of dusk and summer


CHORUS:
           G (320003@1)      D/F#But (200232@1)you've already lost
            G/B*   C2But (x32030@1)you've already lost
           G (320003@1)      D/F#But (200232@1)you've already lost
              G/B*         C (x32010@1)           G/B (143121@7)   D/F# (200232@1)   CWhen (x32010@1)you only had barely enough to hang on


VERSE 2:
                    G/BAnd (143121@7)she combed your hair
                    D/F#And (200232@1)she kissed your teeth
                  CAnd (x32010@1)she made you better than you'd been before
                  G/BAnd (143121@7)she told you bad things
                           D/F#that (200232@1)you wished you could change
              CIn (x32010@1)the lazy summer
                   G/BAnd (143121@7)she told you laughing
             D/F#down (200232@1)to her core
                 CSo (x32010@1)she would not cry and she lay in your lap
             G/Bas (143121@7)she said  "Nobody here can live forever
D/F# (200232@1)                       CQuiet (x32010@1)in the grasp of dusk and summer."

...while you sing this:

She said "No one is alone the way you are alone."
And you held her looser than you would've if you ever could've known
Some things tie your life together
With slender threads of things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last

FINAL CHORUS:
          G (320003@1)      D/F#But (200232@1)you've already lost

      CHang (x32010@1)on
     G/B (143121@7)      D/F#Hang (200232@1)on
     CHang (x32010@1)on
