Chords

I know this isn't perfect, but it wasn't tabbed at all and I felt like it should be because it's a beautiful song. Very straightforward with only 4 chords (at least from what I can hear). The piano adds a few more notes but it's harder to add those in on guitar. [Intro] D A Bm D A Bm [Verse 1]
           D            A
They don't know where I was

           Bm                  A           G
They don't know and they can't say whether I should've given up

               D                   A
And they can't feel and they don't see

     Bm             A                   G
Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me

       A           G           A
In the dark, on my own
[Chorus]
    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms

        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far

            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine

      G                 A   D      A      Bm
And I slept there for a lifetime
D A Bm [Verse 2]
        D              A
I don't mind what they say

            Bm             A                   G
'Cause they all pretend to care 'til it's inconvenient to stay

       D                     A
And of course, we just smile morе

           Bm             A                G
If I could help myself, I wouldn't be hеre stretched out on the floor

        A           G           A
And the day gets so long
[Chorus]
    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms

        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far

            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine

      G                 A   D      A      Bm
And I slept there for a lifetime
D A Bm [Bridge]
    Bm             A            G           A
I remember holding hands on the bank of the reservoir

       Bm            A                G                A
And it saddens me to see how far that is from where we are

        Bm           A              G              A
And I'm sorry that I let it end and that it got to me

       G                             A
I just miss the way I see you when I sleep
[Chorus]
    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms

        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far

            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine

      G             A
And I loved you for dear life

    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms

        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far

            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine

      G                 A   D      A    Bm
And I slept there for a lifetime
D A Bm D A Bm D A Bm
