Standard tuning with capo 1. 

Intro: Em, G, D, C (x2)
 

Verse 1:
                Em
Well you sent me running 
                         G                           
For cover, deep in those dark and 
                     D
lonely hallways of my heart 

and there were problems 
                            C
You said there was something wrong with me 
                  Em
And they were deep-seated, they were deep-rooted 
                    G
I must've pushed 'em away, I pushed 'em away 
                     D
So you left with the impression that 

If I could just clear my head 
         C
You'd be back with me one day 
   

Verse 2:
Em                            G
But now you walk the roads with a rose in your teeth 
              D
Walking arm in arm with him, it's hard to believe 
             C
that I'm the furthest thing from your mind 
             G                        D
Well if those dark clouds haven't come rolling in yet 
Em                   C
Come on baby you know better than that 
  G                     D             Em
In life there's a lot of high grass and deep wet sand 
        C
You just trudge through the best that you can
