Go with the beat of the song, not exactly where the chords are placed, though I tried to 
place them as best
as I could with the lyrics. Also the D in the intro and interlude between verses is held 
out for four beats
where as the other are two beats.
Capo 1
Intro:  Bm   G   D   Bm   G   D  Bm  
GHead underDwaterBm  
Don't Gthink I have the Dstrength tonightBm  
They Gpush me any DfurtherBm  
I Gwill find the Dwords to fightBm  
'Cause Gwhat they say aDbout meBm  
Cuts Gdeeper than the Dsharpest knifeBm  
And iGn my head a rDeplayBm  
I'm lGooking at that rDed light
Bm G D Bm G D Bm
I'll Gdrown in the DwaterBm  
If GI listen Dto the soundBm  
Of Gcruel lDaughterBm  
I let the Gstones fall to the gDround
BmThey don't Gknow a thing abDout meBm  
                        G   D(hold)
And still the wolves are crying out
And I Bmhear you sGayD, "I'll tBmake you awGay"
So wBmill you stand for sGomething
And Dgive them back the ammAunition
Or wBmill you let them Gtell you who you are
My love is dGeeper than the stars
You are bigger than the Bmscars that you feel at nGight
When you're hDolding your pillow Atight
And you're Bmwishing someone Gwould call you home
It's you and I Galone
It's you and I AalBmoneG

It's Dyou and I AalBmoneG  
You and I AalBmoneG  
BmHead underwater
Don't think I have the strength tonight
