Here's the main idea for the verse...it varies slightly throughout the song.  
Just arppegiate the chords and it'll sound fine.

Verse 
 
           Bm     D              A 
Yeah there were times When I was lonely 
 
      Bm              D             A 
And I lay here like a ghost Upon my bed 
 
        Bm               D                A 
I never thought about my friends  I never called up anyone 
 
      Bm           D             A 
I was happy hiding out Inside my head 
 
 
 
Verse -  Bm  D  A  
 
And then you came along 
And loved me all up 
First you calmed me down 
And then you took my hand 
And as we lay under the sky 
And watched the planes go by 
Well I knew I?d never be 
The same again 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
C#m  F#m    D 
Slow down I want to go with you 
 
C#m   F#m   D 
Can?t we wait here awhile 
 
C#m 
And Ill watch you smile 
 
B 
And we?ll hide away 
 
B 
And let all the world go by 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
A       E 
No more reasons why  
 
F#m                  B 
We sit and count The tears we cry 
 
B 
Sit and count the tears 
 
D              E 
Always getting better 
 
D              E 
Always getting better 
 
A         E 
Leave the lonely days 
 
F#m                      B 
Close your eyes Let them drift away 
 
B 
Sit and count the tears 
 
D              E 
Always getting better 
 
D              E 
Always getting better

Verse - Bm  D  A 
 
I have thought about your leaving For a long time now 
And I guess that in the end I?ll be right 
But the blackness of your hair 
The way your smile hits me Everywhere 
These are the things That come to me at night

Slow down I want to go with you

Chorus  
 
No more reason why 
We sit and Count the tears we cry 
Always getting better 
Always getting better 
 
Leave the lonely days 
Close your eyes Let them drift away 
Always getting better 
Always getting better 
 
Lie down again  
watch Moonlight streaming in 
Always getting better 
Always getting better
