This is my first tab so it might not be 100 percent accurate but this is what I gathered from their
acoustic cover :) 
No Capo.
[Verse 1]
Dyou got my attention then you stomped it out,
DYou're there and then you're gone, what's that all about?
DYeah, you came on so strong then you backed it off,
BmWhen did you get the Gnerve to call it love.
[Chorus]
EmYou're a part of my past now,
GI'm making you history.
EmDon't act surprised now,
GDon't say you didn't see it coming.
[Verse 2]
DSo if you're wondering why I'm leaving,
DStop a second and count the reasons
BmYou don't listen, don't Gcare, don't try.
EmThat's the reason and tGhis is why.
DThere's no way for you to stop the bleeding,
DYou don't get it, I've got my reasons;
BmYou don't listen, don't Gcare, don't try.
EmThat's the reason and thGis is why.
DYou got my affection, then you threw it out,
BmI'm right and then I'm wrong, 
all you Ggot is doubt.
[Chorus]
EmYou're a part of my past now,
GNothing but a memory.
EmI sent you to the lost and found,
GDon't say you didn't see it coming.
[Verse 3]
DSo if you're wondering why I'm leaving,
DStop a second and count the reasons
BmYou don't listen, don't Gcare, don't try.

DYou don't get it, I've got my reasons;
BmYou don't listen, don't Gcare, don't try.
EmThat's the reason and Gthis is why.
[Bridge]
DAm I right?
DAm I wrong?
BmWhen you're there,
GAnd you're gone.
DIt's the truth,
DIt might hurt,
BmBut think back,
GWas it worth,
DAll the pain and misery,
DOblivious while I'm dying.
BmThe one regret that I can see is,
GHow I let you get to me.

No Capo.

[Verse 1]

you got my attention then you stomped it out,

You're there and then you're gone, what's that all about?

Yeah, you came on so strong then you backed it off,

Bm G

When did you get the nerve to call it love.

[Chorus]

You're a part of my past now,

I'm making you history.

Don't act surprised now,

Don't say you didn't see it coming.

[Verse 2]

So if you're wondering why I'm leaving,

Stop a second and count the reasons

Bm G

You don't listen, don't care, don't try.

Em G

There's no way for you to stop the bleeding,

You don't get it, I've got my reasons;

Bm G

You don't listen, don't care, don't try.

Em G

That's the reason and this is why.

You got my affection, then you threw it out,

I'm right and then I'm wrong,

all you got is doubt.

[Chorus]

You're a part of my past now,

Nothing but a memory.
