D, Dsus2^D (Dsus2 hammer on to D) <-- x2 or more. Up to you.
G/C <-- Strum it up once, wait half a second and strum for Em7.
Em7
After that, start over again, and you can do this a couple of times before the song.
The same combination is used in the verses where I have written D/intro and G/C -> Em7.

[Play intro first]
D/intro G/C Em7
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
D/intro G/C Em7
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Riff 1 D G
And maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
D/intro G/C Em7
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know
D/intro G/C Em7
Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
D/intro G/C Em7
Where are you tonight, child, you know how much I need it
Riff 1
Too young to hold on
Bm D Fm
And too old to just break free and run
Bm Em7
Sometimes a man gets carried away
Bm Em7
When he feels like should be having his fun
Bm Em7
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
G/C Em7 Fm
Sometimes a man must away to find that really, he has no-one
D G
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
D G
Will I ever see your sweet return
Em7
Oh, will I ever learn
Em Em7
Oh.....oh... lover, you should've come over
D/intro G/C Em7
'Cause it's not too late
D/intro G/C Em7
Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
D/intro G/C Em7
Burning in the corner is the only one in dreams he had you with him
Riff 1 Bm D G
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come
D G/C Em7
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Riff 1
Well, maybe I'm just too young
Bm D G Em7
To keep good love from going wrong
Em Em7
Oh...... lover, you should've come over
Riff 1
Yes, I feel too young to hold on
Bm D Em7
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Em7 G/C D
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done
Em Em7
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Em Em7
Oh, love well I wait for you
Em Em7
Lover, you should've come over
D G/C Em7
'Cause its not too late
