Album: Blinders On (2006)

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

Tuning: Standard
Capo 2nd Fret

Chords:
e|--3----2------0-----X--------3-----X----X-----2---|
B|--3----3------3-----3--------3-----3----3-----3---|
G|--0----2------2-----2--------0-----0----0-----4---|
D|--0----0------0-----0--------2-----0----2-----4---|

E|--3----X------X-----2--------X-----X----0-----X---|
                    
     


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),
        , , 

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)
                           
Please show me there’s something wrong
                  
That I don’t see in you
               
Some terrible secret flaw
                  
That no one could excuse
                   
I try to hide you from my mind
                 
And make myself forget
                       
Please don’t try to stay we'll only
                            
Make what’s clean a mess


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

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

Chorus:
        
Run away girl
     
Run away now
        
Run away girl
    
Run away now

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

Em    Cadd9        D   Dsus2       ----------Listen for exact timing.
   La   La    La   Laaa La La
                  
   La   La    La   Laaa La La
          
La   La   La  La   La

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

Chorus: (Light strumming)
        
Run away girl
     
Run away now
        
Run away girl
     
Run away now
        
Run away girl
     
Run away now

          Into picking, end on C
Run away girl
