This is how I play The Cure's In Between Days WITH A CAPO ON THE SECOND FRET
(all chords are relative to the capo). It may not be entirely correct, but I 
think it sounds nice, and it's easy for a beginner. It's my first go at 
transcribing a song so don't be too hard on me...

You can make it sound nice by putting your index finger on the first fret of 
the second string before changing from the G shape to the C shape (i.e. 
320003 ---> 320013 - I think the latter's Gsus4) and taking your index 
finger off the same sring when changing back from the C shape to the G shape 
(i.e. x32010 ---> x32000 = Cmaj7) using your index finger in the verses.  

You can do a similar thing in the chorus with the Am shape by taking your 
index finger off the second fret (i.e. x02210 ---> x02200 = Asus2?) before 
changing to the D and taking your third finger off the 3rd fret on the 
second string (i.e. xx0232 ---> xx0202 = D6?) in the chorus.

G           C          G                   C
Yesterday I got so old I felt like I could die

G           C          G                  C
Yesterday I got so old it made me want to cry

   G               C
Go on, go on, just walk away

   G               C
Go on, go on, your choice is made

   G              C 
Go on, go on, and disappear

   G           C   
Go on, go on, away from here

      Am                      D
And I know I was wrong when I said it was true

        Am                    D                  G           C
That it couldn't be me and be her in between without you

    G
Without you


Yesterday I got so scared I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you it froze me deep inside

Come back, come back, don't walk away
Come back, come back, come back to me
Come back, come back, why can't you see
Come back, come back, come back to me

And I know it was wrong when I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her in between without you
Without you (repeat several times)
