Chords

I got the version of this song from a Youtube post of him doing it acoustically (Milwaukee, 10 June 2014). Plus working also from what was here. The ending is different from album version. I feel I got it pretty close and took liberties (pun) lol to add the big jazzy G major chord for the last chord ending it.
G                      F#m  B9
He saw no tears in her eyes

Em                         A
Say you wouldn't kid about it

G                          F#m
She's telling all of those lies

    B9                        Em
She swore she'd never told before
But I doubt it
   C
So he bit his tongue

    Bm                        Am
And tried hard to capture his breath

                              D
When she said I waited all my life

                  D/F#
For just a little death

                 G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it

B9               Em7
Say you wouldn't kid about it

Asus9               G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it

B9                Em           Eb7 (XX1323) or (x6564x)
Say you wouldn't kid about it

C                          Em
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously

C                          Em
She makes her movements mysteriously

             F         Dm   F7
Slow fast or    furiously

C
It's a big responsibility

       Em
With a face full of mixed ability

C
Big dreams of elegance

Em           F          C
Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"

    Dsus4/F#           D7/F#
And turning into Americans

                 G
Say you wouldn't kid about it

G                          F#m    B9
So what if this is a man's world

  Em                           A
I want to be a kid again about it

G                  F#m
Give me back my sadness

  B9                Em
I couldn't hide it     even if I tried girl

C
We fight so frail

Bm                    Am
Making love tooth and nail

                           Dsus4/F#
You gave me the kiss of my life

                                    D/F#
I might even live to tell the tale

                 G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it

B9               Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it

A                  G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it

B9                Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it

G C                Cm
  Say you wouldn't Say you wouldn't

  G                G               GM7
  Say you wouldn't Say you wouldn't
