For a few of the chords I've taken a middle path, as Cat plays
a D chord, but sings a C note, so I've gone with a D7 which
sounds better with the melody and as a transition from the Am
to the G.  He plays Cmaj7 with a G bass without really
emphasising it, but the bassist plays a B note. 
Cat plays a Dm, but the piano suggests a subtler Dm7 phrase.

[Verse 1]
Am                D7                 G
    Now that I've lost everything to you,
            Cmaj7                 F
You say you wanna start something new,
         Dm7
And it's breaking my heart,
       E                  Esus4   E7
You're leaving, baby, I'm griev - ing,
Am                   D7               G
    But if you wanna leave, take good care,
                Cmaj7                 F
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,
            Dm7                     E7      G    G7/F  G6/E  G/D
But, then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

         Cmaj7                F
And it's breaking my heart in two,
          Dm7                 E
Because I never wanna see you sad, girl,
           Esus4  E7     Am

Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,

But just re - member there's a lot of bad,
