Thanks to Jamstein for starting me off with some of the chords and giving
me the motivation to tab this song, as we definitely needed someone to tab
it out.

Here are all the parts with just the chords. Each vertical bar symbol “|”
means the start of a bar and the end of the previous. Notice the 4th and
8th bar in the Chorus, where the A is played for half a bar, and the B is
played for half a bar (hence creating a whole bar).

Underneath are the chords together with the lyrics. Each bar begins above
the part of the word that the chords are above, e.g.

|E            |F#m
I don't understand

The bar with the chord F#m begins on the t of understand. This is to give
you an idea of the pace of the song and how long the words should take to
sing. Note that vocals may not start at the beginning of the bar (as shown
above with “I don’t...” beginning at the start of the E bar). I wrote it
this way as I couldn’t move the “|E” any further to the left, and I wanted
to keep all the words in line.

INTRO
|E      |F#m    |B      |A                      (x2)

VERSE 1
|E            |F#m
I don't understand
    |B       |A
How we drift so far away
|E                |F#m
I keep on holding on

But your hands are feeling so numb 

CHORUS
|E      |B                         |F#m
Nobody told me that there would be days like these
    |A           B
I'm falling baby can't you see
|E                |B                    |F#m
And you're in no hurry to keep me from coming undone
|A             B
Take a look at what we've become
|A          |E
Where do we go from here?
|A            |E
I don't wanna disappear
    |F#m             |B
Our hearts are on parade

|E                |F#m
I'd like to take away
        |B     |A
All the stupid things that we say

CHORUS
|E      |B                         |F#m
