CAPO 1ST Fret
I tried my best to identify the names of the chords, but the structure should be correct.

[1ST VERSE]
EI'm done with love, for tonight 
Let's meet again, in the Amdaylight 
EI'd rather spend, this time alone 
Then lay around, gather Ammy insides 
[CHORUS]
Dm9                    Dm9(VAR)
God forbid, I tried at all 
To let you know, that I choose to Efall 
Dm9                    Dm9(VAR)
Turned around, you almost knew 
The words you thought, but you couEldn't choose 
[2ND VERSE]
E                    (Slide down 1 fret and back)
From beneath your bed, my demons wait 
For you to let, this Amcage of inmates free 
E                    (Slide down 1 fret and back)
Only you, could hold key 
To giving me, the freAmedom I need 
[CHORUS]
Dm9                    Dm9(VAR)
God forbid, your secrets out
And all the feelings you shouldn't Edoubt 
Dm9                        Dm9(VAR)
In giving you the space you need 
I might as well just leave you Ebe 
[BRIDGE]
F(VAR)                              C  E  
I couldn't get past, that feeling of doubt
                          Am    Em7F(VAR)
From the touch of your skin when I
CFelt the thickness and Etrim of your breath as Amyou vent Em7to me 
F(VAR)                             C                  E    Am      Em7F(VAR)
I couldn't see much, apart from the repairs that you set out to make
                      C                        E        Am              Em7F(VAR)
And with a slight touch, a gesture now in future it tends to show to late
[OUTRO]
               C                     E    Am    Em7F(VAR)
I don't, give a damn about what you do 
CAs long as when you come here, you Edo what you're suppose to
