Hey this is Alex's new song that is featured in the Wild Honey Pie series. 
I just wanted to so say this is an amazing song and im just guessing a lot of the lyrics. 
ok first of all there are two ways to play the song;
1. the way she plays it live on the acoustic (good to do if your playing t with 
other instruments)
2. using the barre chords which will be good for acoustic versions of it. 
To play the first version the capo is on 10th fret (i know, crazy lol)
Intro
Em G Am Em
C G Am Em
Verse 1
EmArguments Gsake: your a Amcreep and I'm a Emsaint
But I'm Cdown on my Gknees from a Amhead I couldn't Emtake
I Emshot through the Gcore, the blowAm: i did Emreceive
But i'd Cknew you would Gleave from the Amway you grind your Emteeth in your sleep
from the Amway you grind your Emteeth
Chorus
The most Emfatal Gmistake I was Amdying to Emmake
But Cman it hurts to Gfigure it out, it Amhurts when you figure Emit out
I'm a Emfool to my Gfaith. Put my Amflesh to the Emflame
But Cman it hurts to Gfigure it out, it Amhurts when you figure it ouEmt
Verse 2
IlEmlusions of Ggrand, your lord, Amits such a Emshame
when you're Ctrying to Gbreathe, but you're Amtied around the Emwaist
So Empardon my lCack of parting AmeloquentEmly 
Cos I Cknew you would Gleave from the Amway you grind your Emteeth
Chorus
The most Emfatal Gmistake I was Amdying to Emmake
But Cman it hurts to Gfigure it out, it Amhurts when you figure Emit out
I'm a Emfool to my Gfaith. Put my Amflesh to the Emflame
But Cman it hurts to Gfigure it out, it Amhurts when you figure it ouEmt
Em G Am Em
COoGh Amooh Emooh
Middle 8
AEmrguments Gsake: your the Amcreep and Im the Emsaint
Still, I'm Cdown on my Gknees from aAmhead, I could't Emtake
I'm dCown on my Gknees from Amahead, I could't Emtake
Chorus
The most Emfatal Gmistake I was Amdying to Emmake
But Cman it hurts to Gfigure it out, it Amhurts when you figure Emit out
I'm a Emfool to my Gfaith. Put my Amflesh to the Emflame
But Cman it hurts to Gfigure it out, it Amhurts when you figure it ouEmt
Ooh ooh ooh
Ok so that is basically it. To play the second version just transpose those chords 
down two semi-tone.
