Hi, okay this is my first tab ever! I hope you find this as accurate as I did.
You don't have to sing what's in parentheses,
Jamie actually didn't in her acoustic cover of this song
because it's easier to catch your breath for the bridge afterwards.
Hope you like it and thank you :)

Intro:
G - Cadd9 - G - Dsus4* - D* - Dsus4* (it's a quick transition hence the "*")
G Cadd9
It seems the rain's come down again
G
A waiting room you're lying in
Dsus4
So the walls start giving in,
D Dsus4
and you can't change anything
G Cadd9
I call you out, you disappear
G
I come around, you're never here
Dsus4 D Dsus4
Left your t-shirt on the floor (left your conscience needing more)
G
Your friends get taller, rooms get smaller
Cadd9 D Dsus4
Seems it's all a game you're playing
G
And waves start crashing, lights star flashing
Cadd9 D Dsus4 D
Something happened it all comes to an end
G Cadd9
They tell you it makes you stronger, but the road keeps longer
G D
You never stop running 'til the end
Dsus4* G Cadd9
And I just wanna make it better, I'll do anything to remember
G D Dsus4
But then you forget it, all again
G Cadd9
It's not a joke, it's not pretend
G
The path you walk, it never ends
Dsus4 D Dsus4
And we all start losing you, cause we just can't find the truth
G Cadd9 G
You're stuck in what you could become, it's like a race you've never won
Dsus4 D Dsus4
And it's a little faith (that could make it all okay)
G
Your friends get taller, rooms get smaller
Cadd9 D Dsus4
Seems it's all a game you're playing
G
And waves start crashing, lights star flashing
Cadd9 D Dsus4 D
Something happened it all comes to an end
G Cadd9
They tell you it makes you stronger, but the road keeps longer
G D
You never stop running 'til the end
Dsus4* G Cadd9
And I just wanna make it better, I'll do anything to remember
G D Dsus4
But then you forget it, all again
G
Now you've gone six miles in a rental car, and you
Cadd9
crashed down at a local bar and you, with a
G D Dsus4
black book filled with all the names you lost, and on your
G
left hand there's a written word, with a
Cadd9
small sign of a different girl, and the
G D ... Dsus4
sun sets on the place you could have gone
G D
I'm not giving up, and I never said I was
Cadd9 D
I'm not letting go... not leaving you all alone
G Cadd9
They tell you it makes you stronger, but the road keeps longer
G D
You never stop running 'til the end
Dsus4* G Cadd9
And I just wanna make it better, I'll do anything to remember
G D Dsus4
But then you forget it, all again
G
