There is an excellent (as in perfect) tab of this song by Andrew Mcshan here on UG.
However, as a rhythm guitarist I found it quite cumbersome to work with. This is a
simplified version of what he wrote, but all credits go to him!

[Intro]
Csus4 Em7 Am7 (2x)
 
[Verse 1]
Csus4      Em7 Am7      Csus4 Em7 Am7
      Am I drowning you out?
Csus4  Em7    Am7  Csus4   Em7 Am7
       Boasts of defection
   Csus4                    Em7        Am7         Csus4       Em7 Am7
If everything was up to me, I would be gone by the first sight
    Csus4                      Em7           Am7    Csus4   Em7 Am7
The first sight of hope I'd be packed up and out on my way.
 
[Chorus]
G             D/F#      E
Time has been spread so thin
              G              D/F#  F    E
And it's just hours 'til the day begins.
        G                           D/F#                 E
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here.
    G                           D/F#                F    E
The things that are keeping you here will keep me away.
 
               C     F                C           F
And "You'll be sorry", is it not what they'll say?
      C                           F                    C        F
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way.
    C          F              C            F
And don't ever leave here and mope at your leisure
    C                   F               C             F
and straighten out your crease dear and truth is in a tall beer
 
[Interlude]
Csus4 Em7 Am7
 
[Verse 2]
Csus4        Em7      Am7  Csus4 Em7 Am7
     Are you drowning your fears?
Csus4       Em7   Am7  Csus4  Em7 Am7
     With a glass of deception
     Csus4                   Em7        Am7      Csus4 Em7 Am7
When everything is hazy then everything will be O-K
     Csus4                   Em7          Am7      Csus4      Em7 Am7
When everything is hazy then you won't be sad that you stayed.
 
 
[Chorus]
G             D/F#      E
Time has been spread so thin
              G              D/F#  F    E
And it's just hours 'til the day begins.
        G                           D/F#                 E
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here.
    G                           D/F#                F    E
The things that are keeping you here will keep me away.
 
               C     F                C           F
And "You'll be sorry", is it not what they'll say?
      C                           F                    C        F
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way.
    C          F              C            F
And don't ever leave here and mope at your leisure
    C                   F               C             F
and straighten out your crease dear and truth is in a tall beer
 
[Outro]
Csus4
Em7    Am7 Csus4
That's the end
Em7    Am7 Csus4
That's the end
Em7    Am7 Csus4
That's the end...
Em7 Am7 (hold)
