Hello there, sorry if there's a couple of mistakes in the lyrics, but the chords are all good.
The chords with a dash (F' G') are the places I play it as a bar chord because I think 
it sounds better, but it doesn't really matter and its up to you. Enjoy.
Capo 1
Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
You've made your decCision now get up anGd leave
      F'                  G'                       C  
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
I’ll fall in the Cforest to elbows and Gknees.
       F'                               G'                    C  
And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see
[Pre-Chorus]
         F'               C  Cma7  
I was prepared to love you
            F'                  C  G  
And never expect anything of you
[Verse 2]
If a spirit has Cleft you baby don't lie to Gyourself
       F'                    G'                  C  
Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else
Just because we're Cbeasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should Gcarry it again
       F'                       G'                  C  
It's a question of needs, and not rosary beads, in the end
[Chorus]
         F'              C  Cma7  
I was prepared to love you
            F'                  C  Cma7  
And never expect anything of you
                      F'
But there's no patron saint of silent restraint
CThere ain't no sGword in our lFake
Just a funeral wCake
[Bridge]
You were the Amcoldest star in the sCky
Only I couldn't Fsee it I was Cblind
In come the Amblack night calling your Cname since you were born
                F'            G'            C  
Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum
[Chorus]
         F'             C  Cma7  
I was prepared to love you
            F'                  C  Cma7  
And never expect anything of you
                    F'
But there no patron saint of silent restraint
CThere ain't no sGword in our lFake
CThere ain't no sGword in our lFake
CThere ain't no sGword in our lFake
Just a funeral wCake.
