Seems that this band is almost unheard of, but this song is pretty good.
Tab is related to capo on 3rd.

(In this part D is replaced with Dsus2 [xx0230] because you need one finger for the hammer-on,

[1st Verse]
Bm D
You said don’t dye your hair
A
You said he was a dream
G Bm
I was 19, I could have sworn
D A G
He knew me better
Bm
And four years on
D
You say the thrill is gone
A G Bm
And he’s heading down again tonight
D A G Bm
You should have known better
D
And forgive these things you said
A G Bm
For they’re not what they used to be
D A G
Yeah, I should have known better
[Chorus]
(Strum the same chords you were picking in intro/verse)
Bm
And you were a soft shirt
D
You were a soft shirt
A G
You were a penny on these dying eyes
Bm
I wrote you a letter
D
And mailed it in pieces
A
Laced it through love songs
G
And crack lullabies
[2nd Verse]
Bm
Your roar on speakers
D
Your battered old sneakers
A G
And your wool cap pulled so low against the cold
Bm D A G
I will use this long and crooked arm
Bm
To fire the flares
D
To send out the alarm
A G
That these hideous hands
Bm D A G
Will scatter all your best laid plans
(For just this part STOP picking and instead STRUM the chords once and let ring)
Bm D
Alone in the dark I set off the spark
A G
It will burn down every boy
Who made you happy
[Instrumental part]
Play the chords one time:

A
Laced it through love songs
G
And crack lullabies
