Apologies it's not perfect but it should help, I wrote out the words so some need changing Please rate if you like the song and tab [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
there is no great thing to stop and sing, waiting for the rain 

                                                          F    Am    G
and this perfect pill, it's all too much on the edge again

               F    Am    G
don't look away

C
  couldn't help but note a cold disdain in your precious face
why do you always speak when you have no grace in your precious face [Chorus 1]
F          Am              G                        F
but even in the dark, I saw you were the only one alone

               Am                  G                                                F
At these hot gates you spit your vitriol though you swore you wouldn't do this anymore

              Am              G
And I can't be for you, all of the things that you want me to.

     F                Am                  G
but I will love you constantly there's precious little else to me

      Am      G           C
and though we cry we must stay alive
Am G C C G [Verse 2]
          C
another fragile edge and a tender sound and then you went aground

       C
Near a duller blade a promise out of sight there's nothing here for you tonight
[Chorus 2]
F          Am              G                        F
but even in the dark, I saw you were the only one alone

               Am                  G                                                F
At these hot gates you spit your vitriol though you swore you wouldn't do this anymore

              Am              G
And I can't be for you, all of the things that you want me to.

     F                Am                  G
but I will love you constantly there's precious little else to me
[Bridge]
    Am       G           C
and though we cry we must stay alive

       Am             G           C
let my blood only run out when my world decides

         Am     G           C
there is no way out of your only life

       Am      G
so run on, run on
[Solo] F Am G F Am G F Am G F Am G [Ending] Am G C Am G C
