Hi everyone. First tab I'm posting. I've done this one by ear on my piano so I hope this 
helps. I don't play guitar so I'm just posting up the chords I'd play on piano.

NOTE: C* is just the C chord in first inversion - rather than the chord on piano being 
played as CEG, it is played EGC, so you go a little higher. If you have a bass playing in 
this, have them play the E note on C*.

FmThere (133111@1)is love in your body but you can't hold it in
     FmIt (133111@1)pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
AbTenderest (xx1114@1)touch, leaves the darkest of marks
        C*                          Cand (x32010@1)the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts

Fm (133111@1)              Fm (133111@1)  The hardest of hearts
               AbThe (xx1114@1)hardest of hearts
               C*     CThe (x32010@1)hardest of hearts

FmThere (133111@1)is love in your body but you can't get it out
        FmIt (133111@1)gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
AbSticks (xx1114@1)to your tongue and it shows on your face that
    C*                         CThe (x32010@1)sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Fm (133111@1)              Fm (133111@1)  The hardest of hearts
               AbThe (xx1114@1)hardest of hearts
               C*     CThe (x32010@1)hardest of hearts

((Repeat chord progression for verse: Fm Fm Ab C* C))

There is love in our bodies and it holds us together
And it pulls us apart when we're holding each other
We all need something to hold in the night
We don't care if it hurts when we're holding too tight

There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face that
The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

((Repeat chord progression for chorus: Bbm Gdim Ab 
Fm, Bbm Gdim Ab C))

Darling, how I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling, how I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

Finishes on the Fm chord, invert it so it cadences (CFAb). Also, remember that the last 
verse has a slightly different chord progression to the regular kind, Fm replaces Ab, 
don't forget it or else it sounds funny.
Hope you guys are able to make use of this tab!
