Hey there! This is a song from The Paper Kites’ outtakes off their 2nd studio album ‘twelvefour’.
It has a soulful feel to it, and to stay true to this sound, I tried to give variety to the chords.
So I added some chord diagrams below that came as close to replicating the vibe of the chorus as possible.
Thanks for reading and enjoy playing!

*I recommend doing the barre chord versions of F#m and A for the intro and verses
so you can slide to transition between chords like the original :-)
[Intro]
F#m A E (x3)
F#m E
[Verse 1]
F#m A E Don't let this unwind F#m A E You know we say it all the time F#m A E You've got a fair and fragile mind F#m A E In your way F#m A E It's a saving kind of face F#m A E 'Cause it holds me in my place F#m A E And there's no one I could take F#m E Over you
[Chorus]
A5 Amaj9 ‘Til I've faded out of sight A5 All my days and nights D5 A5 D/F# A D/F# A You never leave my mind
[Verse 2]
F#m A E Never did I find F#m A E All the answers at one time F#m A E But then you'd always push the line F#m E In your way F#m A E And your voice was trembling F#m A E At the thought you couldn't win F#m A E But it's the only race I'm in F#m E Running strong
[Chorus]
A5 Amaj9 Tell you, ‘til I've faded out of sight A5 All my days and nights D5 A5 You never leave my mind A5 Amaj9 And I know it's nothing new A5 Turn me black and blue D5 A5 Holes let in the light D/F# A Ahh~ (x4)
[Instrumental]
D/F# A* (x8)
*The last A chord will be plucked
