Something my friend the music major helped me work out.

Play each chord for one measure (4 beats).
A dash (-) indicates to keep playing the same chord.
Build up with E for two measures, then.
Intro Chords:
E C#m E D (2x)
Verse 1:
[E] This is our [-]story.
[C#m] It's a [G#m]short one, but it's a
[F#m] Hard harsh [-]read.
Be[B]tween the lines, a little aching need.
[E] We're a [-]strange arrangement;
[C#m] No st[G#m]rings.
But th[F#m]e music we [-]make is
[B] Serpentine and bittersweet.
[E] In my [-]youth, you know,
[C#m] I loved you like [G#m]gangbusters.
[F#m]Now I watch you fall.
[B]Twisting, turning, growing small.
[E] You're a [-]roomful of sor[C#m]row,
A [G#m]spoonful of joy
[F#m] Another infidelity
Another [B]pain, another golden glitter boy.
Chorus:
[A]Iiiiiiiiiiiii[G#m]Iiiiiiiiiii
I want [C#m]you. [-]I know it's crazy,
[B]But I really want to leave you, too.
[A]Iiiiiiiiiiiii[G#m]Iiiiiiiiiii
I want [C#m]you. Boy, oh boy, you bring me [B]joy
And then you make me blue.
With intro chords:
I love to love you; I'm a fool.
You're callous and you're cold,
And oh, so cruel.
Verse 2:
I'm starting to forget things.
Faces, names.
Games played, plans laid.
Surely, there were promises made.
Good love is easy to find,
But it's hard to keep.
And though I hate it when you wake,
I still love to watch you sleep.
Chorus.
Repeat intro chords 4x during break.
Using chorus chords 1x through:
Oooooooh,Ooooooooooh,Oooooooooooooh
Verse 3:
Remember the early days
When nickels were dimes,
And a dollar took us everywhere.
I don't think I ever combed my hair.
Is this our story?
Is this where the loving starts?
In the stillness, the staring,
The hardening of hearts?
We're a strange arrangement;
No strings.
This is not my place, these are not my things.
It's not my way, the pain love brings.
Chorus. (repeat with vocal embellishments)
End on E.
