The other version is most certainly not right, so here is a closer one at least. STANDARD TUNING Inrto x 2: G B7 C D7 (end on a final G strum before the pause for verse)
G       B7            C                  D7
I had a moment when I thought I might be wrong,

    G      B7           C        D7
But Ashley how could it be?

G               B7      C         D7
I waited on the rooftop all night long,

    G           B7         C       D7
But you weren't coming for me.

B7                              C
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid

B7                         C
You said you wanted me but you never did

G          B7        C                    D7
There was a moment I thought our love was strong,

    G        C         G
But now that moment is gone.

G                   B7             C              D7
I could stand right underneath the window of your room,

G              B7           C            D7
Throwing rocks I've done it before

G                   B7               C               D7
And I would love to find a reason to dazzle you with lies,

    G                B7        C         D7
But I don't have the energy no more.

B7                                   C
And you never promised anything that you didn't give,

B7                               C
I assumed that you'd say yes but you never did.

G           B7        C                D7
There was a moment my love for you was strong,

G            B7                      C               D
I drank your sherry bourbon thinking you might come around,

      G                    B7          C        D
There ain't no one on this rooftop but me.

B7                              C
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid,

G           C         G       F#/G
Ashley that moment is gone.

Em       C         G
Now that moment is gone.
That should be pretty damn close. I may have misplaced a chord name here or there but follow the pattern of the rest if I messed up. It is a pretty simple, and awesome, song. Enjoy.
