I think I finally have it figured out.  Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
Intro:  G–  D–  Am7– C2  
[G] I was [D] naive not to let you [Am7] go 
When the time was [C2] right
[G] And I was a [D] fool living in a [Am7] dream 
That I thought could [C2] last [Am7]
And I know [G] that you will try to prove me [Cmaj7] wrong
But it’s what I’ve got to [D] do
I think you’re [G] mistaken, 
I’m sorry to [D] say
I’m really just a [Am7] loser 
Who’s getting in your [C2] way
I think you’ve [G] forgotten, 
All of your [D] plans
See you never meant to [Am7] be here
And I think you should [C2] know
You’re better off alone [ G–  D–  Am7– C2]
[G] And it’s clear to [D] me that everything has [Am7] changed
‘Cause nothing that we [C2] do 
Feels the same any [G] more
And I’ll admit, I’ll take the [D] blame
Maybe we just moved too [Am7] fast
And how could [C2] expect something like this to [Am7] last
And I know [G] that you will try to prove me [Cmaj7] wrong
But it’s what I got to [D] do
I think you’re [G] mistaken, 
I’m sorry to [D] say
I’m really just a [Am7] loser 
Who’s getting in your [C2] way
I think you’ve [G] forgotten, 
All of your [D] plans
See you never meant to [Am7] be here
And I think you should [C2] know
You’re better off alone [Am7]
You and [D] I, we were [Cmaj7] standing 
Watching us fall [Dsus2] apart
So  Am7let me [D] go 
And move [G] along [ D–  Am7– C2]
I think you’re [G] mistaken, 
I’m sorry to [D] say
I’m really just a [Am7] loser 
Who’s getting in your [C2] way
I think you’ve [G] forgotten, 
All of your [D] plans
See you never meant to [Am7] be here
And I think you should [C2] know
You’re better off alone [G]
[ G–  D–  Am7– C2]
No, no, no, no, (repeat)
Oh, you’re better off alone
I think you’re mistaken, sorry to say
I’m really just a loser you’re better off alone
[ G–  D–  Am7–  C2repeat]
