This is the way I play it, sounds pretty close to me:
(Intro: F C F C)
C F
Stay where you are,
C
Don't jump on any planes.
F
And I'll keep on kicking myself
C
For having let you get away.
Bb
But I will say it's circumstance
F
And point to the vane.
F7
Chalk it all up to the weather
Bb
And not to your disdain.
Bb F
I'll yell from afar
C
If I need to call you names.
F
Forgo the thought of killing myself,
C
Instead I'll let you take aim.
Bb
And force your declaration
F
Of what we became.
F7
Sure, on paper it looks good,
Bb
If you ignore the stains.
Bb F
It's the little things that set me off.
Bb F C
Your favorite shirt is someone else's cloth...
(Interlude: F C F C)
C F
So stay who you are,
C
Though some would call it strange.
F
And I'll keep on kidding myself
C
That I can make you change.
Bb
You know more than anyone
F
My need to deceive.
F7
And while I can fool the world,
Bb
Mostly I fool me.
Bb F
It's the little things that set me off,
Bb F
Like walking by our favorite coffee shop,
Bb F
Or seeing your haircut at the bus stop,
Bb F C
Or hearing someone cough just like you cough.
F
Just hold
Bb
A moment.
C Bb
Please, humour me.
F
I'm not
Bb
Reacting
F C
Fanatically.
F C Bb
And hear how my voice is a code
Bb
To you...
F
All Dots
C
And Dashes
Bb
Mixed up
C
In clues...
F
my love

It might give you a little insight as to when to change chords and how to make it seem a
less... blocky, if you know what I mean. Hope that helps!
