I did this chord chart on piano but its meant to be
picked on a guitar so a lot of this song has
to be from listening to it to get a feel for
how to play it on whichever instrument.
During the verses where they have the first
chord sustained, they alternate within the lead guitar
between sus4 and sus2- listen to the song for the
main instrumental melody.

I don t know if I can last another day in your arms.
Open the curtains to the sun, crawl down the fire escape and run,
(Eb/Ab)
I gotta get away from the hold you got on me.
[Verse 2]

I m singing out ultimatums everyday.
I don t think I d ever have the strength to up and leave.
I wanna love you all the time, won t you just let me?
[Chorus]
You never meant to cause me pain, you never meant to be that way.
(Eb/
I don t know if I can last another day in your arms.
Open the curtains to the sun, crawl down the fire escape and run,
(Eb/Ab)
I gotta get away from the hold you got on me.
