This is pretty close, the only part I am not sure about is the chord runs after 
Capo 1
AI caught you caterwauling,  Egiving grief
F#mThought you were cannonballing C#mafter me
G#Now that your actions speak F#mfor G#themAselvesB  
And wished you C#mwell
ABut you're a mirror I canEnot avoid
F#mStrung out and jittery and C#mparanoid
G#A leaky battery that F#mcan't G#keep AchargedB  
Get in the F#mcar A  B  
EAnd say what you C#mmean
ExAplain yourBself to Eme F#m  
                                         C#m       BC#m-A-B
and I'll try not to judge you more than you would

                            C#m        BG#-B-C#m-G#-A
Like anyone's asking or anyone should
Break: (Same strum pattern as verse)

AFirst time I met you I was Efull of fear
F#mKnew that eventually you'd C#mdisappear

And wished you well

Strung out and jittery and paranoid
