Chords Used
Verse:
G# - 466544
Cm - 8(10)(10)888
Fm - 133111
C# - 446664
I typically play only the EADG strings (lowest 4, pitchwise) during the verses,
but I included the full chords in case you needed them...
Bridge:
G# - 466544
Eb - x68886
Chorus
G# - 466544
Bbm - 688666
Cm - 8(10)(10)888
C# - 446664
... all very basic chords, but I find it helps to liven things up to play them
higher on the neck (it has a better intonation) and through varying which strings
I strum (lowest 4 for the verses, all for chorus etc)
A rough idea of the sequence

when she stared at the world.

So why do you leave these stories unfinished,
G# Bbm Cm C# Bbm
my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes?
G# Bbm Cm C# Bbm
Why do you look when you've already found it?
Ab Bbm Cm Db Bbm Ab Bbm Cm Db Bbm (etc)
What did you find that could leave you walking by?
