I can't believe there are no tabs for this incredible song, so I did what I could. 
It's definitely not perfect - I did my best.
Standard Tuning ; No Capo
With your Dhead held high,
PreAtend that you're alright Bmwithout me.
And I'm Dbetter now that AI'm without your Bmfears.
And I'll Dwrite this Adown, Bmsound it Gout.
And Gpretend there's something Amore left in your Dtown.
I'll Dsit through Amonths away from home Bmwithout you.
And D4,000 miles Aaway is all BmI need, 
For you to Grealize what you need.
But you're Dclean cut and Aexposed,
And I've Bmnever felt more at Ghome.
But I'll Gpretend there's something Amore left in your Dtown.
DI'm falling in and Aout of love,
BmFinally stopping what we Gwere made of.
D"Oh, Aoh, yoBmu're done."G  
By Dsummer I'll have you Aon your knees,
Come BmAugust and you'll Glie right through your teeth.
And it's Goh so typicAal but what I Dneed.
I'm Dwriting books through Aletters,
That I'm Bmsure you'll never Gread.
I'm Dsearching through a Apostcard,
To find Bmany trace of Gme.
But you've Gtraded thoughts of Ame,
For this Dnew life that comes Bmcheap.
And I can Gonly pray it Afalls beneath your Gfeet.
DI'm falling in and Aout of love,
BmFinally stopping what we Gwere made of.
D"Oh, Aoh, yoBmu're done."G  
By Dsummer I'll have you Aon your knees,
Come BmAugust and you'll Glie right through your teeth.
And it's Goh so typicAal but what I Dneed.
DYou're done Ais just what I Bmneed,
And Gyour violent Aattempts to come Gclean.
DI'm falling in and Aout of love,
BmFinally stopping what we Gwere made of.
D"Oh, Aoh, yoBmu're done."G  
By Dsummer I'll have you Aon your knees,
Come BmAugust and you'll Glie right through your teeth.
And it's Goh so typicAal but what I Dneed.
D"You're done."
Is Ajust what I BmneedG  D
