 A                      Dsus2
   I think I've already lost you
F#m               E       Dsus2
   I think you're already gone
  A                   Dsus2
   I think I'm finally scared now
   A            Bm                              E
   You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
  A                       Dsus2
   I think you're already leaving
F#m                E              Dsus2
   Feels like your hand is on the door
  A                A              Dsus2
   I thought this place was an empire
   A             Bm                 E
   now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

This next part you can either tab this through it or play the chords
(listen to the song as he says "I think your so mean" for the timing)
it starts as he says "mean" after "much" he ends playing all 3

                      Bm                       E
I think you're so mean - I think we should try -
                     A              D
I think I could need - this in my life
    A           Bm                    E
and I think I'm scared - I think too much
   G
I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
              A                             Dsus2
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
A                 Bm
    There's an awful lot of breathing room
E                         A
    But I can hardly move
  A                                             D           A
    If you're gone - baby you need to come home   (come home)
                          Bm
    Cuz there's a little bit of something me
   E             A
    In everything in you

(at "in you" go back to the intro Tab. You can play the tab through all the way to "more 
you'd mind" or play the chords)

 A                        Dsus2
  I bet you're hard to get over
F#m           E      Dsus2
  I bet the room just won't shine
 A                    Dsus2
  I bet my hands I can stay here
  A          Bm                      E
  I bet you need - more than you mind
