I couldn't quite find a tab I liked, so I did it by ear.
Capo 1, Standard Tuning
Come to me nDow
And lay your hands Gover me
Even if it's a Dlie
Say it will be Aalright
And I shall Gbelieve
I'm broken in Dtwo
And I know you're Gon to me
That I only come Dhome
When I'm so all Aalone
But I do Gbelieve
That not Bmeverything is gonna Abe the way
You think it Gought to be
It seems like Bmevery time I try to Amake it right
It all Gcomes down on me
Please say BmhonestAly you won't Egive up on Gme
And I shall DbelieveG  
And I shall DbelieveG  
Open the Ddoor
And show me your Gface tonight
