This key suits my voice more but you can always move the capo to 5 for the original key :) [Intro]

Em 
(Hammer on 2nd fret of D string and then G string) x4

watch Jake's acoustic version of the song to get the rhythm of this [Verse]

Em                             Am
Crying for the one who doesn't love you

Bm                  Em
All you feel is the pain

                              Am
You don't know why he doesn't want you

Bm                   Em
He hasn't called for days (Repeat intro hammer on once)

[Pre-Chorus]

   Am
So dry those eyes and don't be afraid

           Em
'Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same

        Am
No, you don't know, it don't come easy

     D
Come easy

[Chorus]

            G                               Em7
They say it comes in threes: love, hope and misery

        Am
And the first two are gone and tell me if I'm wrong

  D
I hope that I am and you don't hate me

G                 Em7
Don't be mad, I'm just a man

      Am
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

      D                                       Em
And I know, and I know that you must hate me (Repeat intro hammer on x4)

[Verse]

Em                              Am
Holding back the reasons not to love you

Bm              Em
Try to find the way

                                 Am
But when you're feeling down and lonely

   Bm               Em
It makes it hard to say (Repeat intro hammer on once)

[Pre-Chorus]

   Am
So dry those eyes and don't be afraid

           Em
'Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same

        Am
No, you don't know, it don't come easy

     D
Come easy

[Chorus]

            G                               Em7
They say it comes in threes: love, hope and misery

        Am
And the first two are gone and tell me if I'm wrong

  D
I hope that I am and you don't hate me

G                 Em7
Don't be mad, I'm just a man

      Am                                         D
And I know, and I know, and I know that you must hate me

[Bridge]

     Em
As I think about the only way that you know to love

         C
No, this feeling can't be right if it don't mean much

         Am
No, this feeling ain't right if it don't mean much

  D
I can't be here for you

      Em
No, I can't live a lie, woman, that you must know

         C
And this feeling can't be right if it moves so slow

         Am
No, this feeling ain't right if it moves so slow

  D
I can't be here with you

[Chorus]

            G                               Em7
They say it comes in threes: love, hope and misery

        Am
And the first two are gone and tell me if I'm wrong

  D
I hope that I am and you don't hate me

G                 Em7
Don't be mad, I'm just a man

      Am
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

      D
And I know, and I know that you must hate me

[Outro] Repeat intro hammer on
