I've been wanting to learn how to play this song for a while, and I just learned it by 
ear. I saw the chords Shane plays live and they seem to match up.

I play mine one half step down (just because I like the sound) so that's why some of the 
chord names may be a bit funny to those playing this in standard. (Chords will still 
sound good either way)

Chords:

(Verse 1)
         AWell (x02220@1)I remember the first day

It was so close to the end of May
            DIt's (xx0232@1)when I finally opened my eyes

I saw the sun for the first time
           AOh (x02220@1)and it lied in the form of a beautiful girl
                         DWho (xx0232@1)would take me on the ride of my life
          E (022100@1)                                   DAnd (xx0232@1)it's just something that I've been dying to know

(Chorus)
F#maj
Well where did you go?
                 D (xx0232@1)             ACause (x02220@1)I've been waiting here so long
                                      F#maj
You know that I've been reading your notes
             A (x02220@1)                         DThey (xx0232@1)always hinted towards the fact that you were coming home
          F#maj              DAnd (xx0232@1)as I struggle with this reality
       A (x02220@1)               EThat (022100@1)this is all that's left of me
        F#maj                   D (xx0232@1)         AHalf (x02220@1)of my heart, my mind, and my body are gone

(Verse 2 - same as verse 1)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
A (x02220@1)                          Csus4 (x33010@1)       C#So (x43121@1)let's go back down to the bank of that river where
AWe (x02220@1)can dive right in
        Csus4 (x33010@1)                C#And (x43121@1)forget about the worries from the world outside
A (x02220@1)                        Csus4 (x33010@1)         C#'Cause (x43121@1)you know my world, my world's not over
A (x02220@1)               Csus4 (x33010@1)      C#Because (x43121@1)I have an angel on my shoulder

(Chorus)

Hope it sounds good!
