The verses in the songs should be played softer and quieter and the Choruses can be played slightly
louder, but still with a loose strumming pattern. Other than that it is pretty straightforward.
There is no acoustic version of this song yet so this is simply the way I hear the original version.
Comment if there are any improvements you may have.

Verse I:
E
Story books I thought
E
Written for my heart
Bsus
From my fingers fall
E
With you gone I break
E
Drifting off in space
Bsus
Can you hear me call?
Chorus I:
C#m A E Bsus
I need yo----ou, need you, I need you
C#m A E B
I need yo----ou, need you, I need you
Chorus II:
E
As all these mornings turn into brand new days
A
Everything still hurts, you're so far away
C#m A B
I would dig a hole through the earth and crawl
B
To get to you, to get to you
Verse II:
E
Wicked dreams they come
E
When I sleep alone
Bsus
So I stay awake
E
Thinking oh oh oh
E
How I miss her so
Bsus
How long must I wait?
Chorus I:
C#m A E Bsus
I need yo----ou, need you, I need you
C#m A E B
I need yo----ou, need you, I need you
Chorus II:
E
As all these mornings turn into brand new days
A
Everything still hurts, you're so far away
C#m A B
I would dig a hole through the earth and crawl
B
To get to you, to get to you
