This song is really easy. Like beginner easy, but it's still a good song. 
CAPO 4.
(Verse 1)
Em7It's not surprising it could end like this
 Cadd9Your eyes are open even when you kiss
 Em7You're so distant
 So cold, Cadd9so resistant
YEm7ou see the world in only grey and black
NCadd9ow how could anybody live like that
 WiEm7thout screaming
 Without Cadd9dying for dreaming
(Refrain)
Em7And you stare out the window at Cadd9the passing cars
 GAnd you look at the sky, Dthank your unlucky stars
 Em7No you're never quite happy Cadd9right where you are
(Chorus)
GSo you keep on
 Inventing Dshadows
 Em7Where there are none
 Cadd9No, there are none
 GYeah, you keep on
 Inventing Dshadows
 Em7Where there are none
 Cadd9You don't even see the sun
 Cadd9Can't you see the sun?
(Verse 2)
Em7You can't be shocked that I might want to leave
 Cadd9The way you're living's like you're half asleep
 YEm7ou just drain me
 Cadd9If I go who could blame me?
(Refrain)
Em7And you stare out the window at thCadd9e passing cars
 GAnd you look at the sky, thank yoDur unlucky stars
NEm7o you're never quite happy righCadd9t where you are
 GRight where you, Dwith all that you are
(Chorus)
SGo you keep on
