This may not be the exact way Chris plays it, but it sounds really good and it's a lot
on the finger picking parts.

VERSE 1:
                E
She smiled in a big way
                         G/B
The way a girl like that smiles
                  Asus
When the world is hers. And she held your eyes
           E                      G/B
Out in the breezeway, down by the shore
            Asus
In the lazy summer
                   E
And she pulled you in
                 G/B
And she bit your lip
                 Asus
And she made you hers
           E
She looked deep into you as you lay together
G/B                            Asus
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
 
 
CHORUS:
           E,G/B   Asus
But you’ve already lost
           E,G/B   Asus
But you’ve already lost
           E,G/B   Asus
But you’ve already lost
              E          G/B       Asus (strum once)
When you only had barely enough to hang on
 
 
VERSE 2:
                    E
And she combed your hair
                    G/B
And she kissed your teeth
                 Asus
And she made you better than you’d been before
                 E
And she told you bad things
                          G/B
that you wished you could change
            Asus
In the lazy summer
                 E
And she told you laughing
            G/B
down to her core
                 Asus
So she would not cry and she lay in your lap
             E
as she said  “Nobody here can live forever
G/B                   Asus
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer.”
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
 
BRIDGE- Here's where you finger pick the same chords (E, G/B, Asus), but you do the Asus
Listen to the song for timing.
 
    E         G/B       Asus      Asus
eb|-----0---------0---------0---------0------------------------------|
Bb|-------0---------0---------0---------0----------------------------|
Gb|-1---------2---------2---------2----------------------------------|
Db|---2---------1---------2---------2--------------------------------|
Ab|-2---------2---------0---------0----------------------------------|
Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(finger pick)
          E         G/B       Asus        Asus
She said “No one is alone the way you are alone.”
And you held her looser than you would’ve if you ever could’ve known
Some things tie your life together
With slender threads of things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last
 
FINAL CHORUS:
 
           E,G/B   Asus
But you’ve already lost
           E,G/B   Asus
But you’ve already lost
           E,G/B   Asus
But you’ve already lost
              E         G/B               Asus
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
      E
Hang on
     G/B
Hang on
     Asus
Hang on
 
That's it. Simple and sweet.
