Ok guy's, here is the 99% accurate tab of this song with the 99% accurate text. There seemed to be some difficulty to hear what Josh is singing in a couple of places. I'm still about one line though,"Until then I keep one leg up off the track", But I'll leave it someone else to figure out.
Capo on 4th Fret
Chords Used
Fmaj7 : 012331 Fmaj* : 010331 Am7 : 01020x Em* : 010020 G : 300023 C : 01023x
----- Intro -----
Fmaj7Am7Em* Fmaj7 X2
Now if you listen to when Josh is playing the intro you'll hear that on the first Fmaj7 actually alternates between Fmaj7 and Fmaj*... So it's actually:
Fmaj7Fmaj* Fmaj7Fmaj* Am7Em* Fmaj7 X2
And the verse should be played that way trough the whole song.
----- Verse -----

G When you come around Am7Fmaj7CG Baby I've been so blue, and I sleep with the TV on Fmaj7 It's the only sound now love's gone

----- Verse -----
Fmaj7Am7Em* Fmaj7 I will recover I will hear it whisper back Until then I keep one leg up off the track Cause he tells you, you are still upon his mind He'll get around and see you when he finds the time
------ Chorus ------
G When you come around Am7Fmaj7CG Baby I've been so blue, and I sleep with the TV on Fmaj7 It's the only sound now love's gone G When you come round Am7Fmaj7 baby I've been a fool CG And I've already waited so long Fmaj7 So long my love has gone
