Chords

I've tried my best to transcribe this from a video of them playing live. I'm not completely sure about the picking, but the into seems to be close to this, based around the G chord:
e|-----------------|
B|------3----------|
G|-----------------|
D|------0------0---|
A|---------2-------|
E|--3--------------|
Standard Tuning, No Capo. F: 320033 F: X32010 Am: 022000 G: XX0232 F/E: x32000 F F G

Marianne stood by the window, looking out on the street as the cars sail by

F                                     F         G
Knew you, wondered if he was going to magically reappear,

F           G
step out of his car,

F          G         F
run into to your arms Marianne

F                Am              G            F
Could wait for a sign but you're just killing time

F                F/E Am
and it's killing you too

F                  Am
What you can't put behind,

      G            F                    Am
it'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you

G*    F*    F*
Down, down, down

F
He was, he was your only son

F        G         F        G    F
Like you were your mother's only daughter.

                        F         F
But you have to believe when they say

          F       G        F      G
he didn't leave because of you or me

      F        G       F    G   F
but because he saw no other way Marianne.

F                Am               G           F
Could wait for a sign but you're just killing time

F              F/E   Am
and it's killing you too

F                  Am
What you can't put behind,

      G            F                    Am
it'll stay in your mind and it'll haunt you

G*     F*   F*
Down, down, down
F F/E Am F
F/E  Am
And I'm not looking for a reason, I'm looking for truth

         G                                    F                  Am
But if I find it meanwhile I could be of good use but there's no use
F Am G F
   F
No use in, blaming yourself, it won't lead to anything, Marianne.

F*       G*            F*
But what good does this song

F*       G*        F*
But what good does convincing

        F           G          F F/E Am
I'm not waiting for you to get over this

     F             G          F        G
This emptiness and fear won't cease to exist

       F         G         F   F/E Am
I just wish that you would come to see

     F          G      F            G
That everything is the way its must be

    F              G                          F*
And if I am wrong, Marianne, you may call me a liar.
* = strum once There's probably a few C/B's I've missed out, Klara does them really quickly just as she's about to change from a C chord so just stick them in where it feels right. I'm not sure about the 'But you have to believe when they say' line because the timing/phrasing changes completely but I've tried my best.
