This is a great song. Pretty sure i got it pretty close.  It sounds great on an acoustic.
Enjoy.

D D D D D7 D7 D7 D7 D D D D D7 D7 D7 D7


D               D7
 Up on a hill is where we begin
D                D7               G
This little story a long time ago
D                D7
 Stop to pretend, stop pretending
D              D7                         G
It seems this game is simply never-ending
            D                D7
Oh, in the sun, sun having fun
D               D7
It's in my blood
D
I just can't help it
D7
I want you here right now
      G
Let me go, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
             F#
Leavin' just in time
                  Em
Stayed there for a while
              F#
Rolling in the ocean
                   A
Trying to catch her eye
                      F#
Work hard and say it's easy
                Em
Do it just to please me
                F#
Tomorrow will be different
                    A
So I'll pretend I'm leaving

If you wanna kinda make a solo i do D for the beginning strumming like the solo.
 Then G at the end.

             D
Our fears are different here
D7
We train in A-V-A
D
I wish you hadn't stayed
D7                                  G
My vision's clearer now, but I'm unafraid
 D                D7
Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
 D                          G
I took too many varieties
            D
Oh, in the sun, sun having fun
D7
It's in my blood
D
I just can't help it
D7
I want you here right now
      G
Let me go

Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
              F#
Leaving just in time
             Em
Staying for a while
              F#
Rolling in the ocean
                   A
Trying to catch her eye
                      F#
Work hard and say it's easy
                Em
Do it just to please me
                F#
Tomorrow will be different
                   A
So this is why I'm leaving
