The other tab's chords were slightly off, so I've fixed the majority.

Intro:

Baseline: As shown below
D----------------0--------------|
A--------------------3---2--0---|
E---0--(h)2---3---------------3-|

Chords: Em, D/F#, G, D(but leave in G and just pick from D string up),
        C, G/B, Am

Play the chords by picking the base string and either a quick strum or pick run over the 
of the chord (I haven't tried to get the exact picking structure). Play the intro 2x.

1st Verse: (Play soft chords with pick runs, not full strum)
Em      G               Cadd9      G/B
Please show me there’s something wrong
     Am             C
That I don’t see in you
Em      G      Cadd9   G/B
Some terrible secret flaw
      Am            C
That no one could excuse
Em  G             Cadd9    G/B
I try to hide you from my mind
     Am            C
And make myself forget
  Em     G          Cadd9      G/B
Please don’t try to stay we'll only
  Am                 C         C
Make what’s clean a mess


Chorus: (This chorus is barely picking strings, mostly piano)
         G   Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9    Em7 Cadd9
Run away now
          Em into Intro picking, one time, end on C
Run away girl

2nd Verse: (Full strum)
Em   G            Cadd9    G/B
The way that you smile at me
        Am            C
Isn’t helping much at all
Em      G           Cadd9   G/B
Please try not to laugh it only
  Am                C
Makes me want you more
Em    G                 Cadd9 G/B
We both know this could never be
    Am               C
But I can’t let you go

Chorus:
 Cadd9    G   Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9    Em7 Cadd9
Run away now
 Cadd9    G   Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9    D
Run away now

Bridge:
D             Em7             Cadd9
What if you thought you saw a ghost
G                       D
A hundred times a day
D            Em7               Cadd9
What if the thing you wanted most
        G           D     Dsus2
Was impossible to save

Em    Cadd9        D   Dsus2       ----------Listen for exact timing.
   La   La    La   Laaa La La
Em    Cadd9        Bm      C
   La   La    La   Laaa La La
G/B  Am  G/B  G    D
La   La   La  La   La

Picking run on C, G/B, Am, D (strum once)

Chorus: (Light strumming)
 Cadd9    G   Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9    Em7 Cadd9
Run away now
 Cadd9    G   Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9    Em7 Cadd9
Run away now
 Cadd9    G   Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9    Em7 Cadd9
Run away now

          Into picking, end on C
Run away girl
