Intro
C#m A B* *=(pinky notes e to eb on third string)

C#m                    A               
I can't even think of one good reason
B               Abm                      
Why I'm always thinkin 'bout leavin
C#m                    A          B*           
's not like everything's so horrible
C#m                   A               
w'Been together for a few years now
B                   Abm                 
And you know all my ins and outs
C#m                 A          B*        
But everything's way to comfortable

F# (8 beats)
A (4 beats)    B (3 beats)

        A (2 fr.)                              C#m           B (2 fr.)  
Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me
           E
And I swear
        A (2 fr.)
That I'll find it someday
      C#m           B (2 fr.)

C#m                    A

Then leavin here would be so easy
C#m                    A                 B*
It's time to take a chance and give you up

And I swear
        A (2 fr.)
That I'll find it someday
      C#m           B (2 fr.)
Just wait and see
            E
I don't care
         A (2 fr.)
That you call me crazy

-----
The Chords in the first part sound good as 6th string bar chords. Except the E 
which sounds better as a 5th string A shapes chord.
When the key changes I use mostly 5th string A and Am shapes at the appropriate fret.
