This song is in capo 4, but this song is sung by Allison, whose voice is suuuper low. 
So if you're a soprano, like me, it's good to up it to capo 6 or 7.
Capo 4
Intro: Am, Em, Dm, E  
AmHe was moving towards me like a dEmeadly hurricane
Well the Dmeye was on the sparrow but EI was in the rain
 AmRolled into town and blew his smEmoke into my eyes
Well it was oDmnly for a moment but EI was hypnotized
AmWhy can’t EmI know sDmecrets that you’re keEeping from me?
AmStop, don’t tEmell me now
Cause there is Dmonly one day more and I dEon’t know how
To Ambring to life the things that meant so Emmuch to me before
There is dDmanger in your words that EI cannot ignore
AmWhy must EmI conceal the sDmecrets I’ve been kEeeping from you?
Am, Em, Dm, E
