VERSE chords:
B F#
You put me on a line
E B
And hung me out to dry
F# E
Darling that?s when I
B
Decided to go to see you
B F#
You cut me down to size
E B
And opened up my eyes
F# E
Made me realize
B
What I could not see
CHORUS chords:
G#m B
And I could write a book,
G#m F#
The one they'll say that shook
E B
The world, and then it took
F#
It took it back from me
G#m B
and I could write it down
G#m F#
And spread it all around
E B
Get lost and then get found
F#
And you'll come back to me
E B
Not swallowed in the sea
After the verse and chorus with guitar, play this.

I think that in the song, the acoustic playing the chords is 1/2 step flat. I can tell by the Eb
note that is in each chord and acts as a drone. However, I also put the shapes I like to use
when I am in standard tuning
