There's a couple of tabs for this already, but I feel this is
more of a chord song, so I thought I put it up like this.

[Verse]
I would sleep bF5etter on your floor, than I would eBb5ver in my bed.
And if your cD5arpet makes my face itch, it’d still be hC5eaven in my head.
I would play mF5ore than just four chords, if it’s a Bb5song that you might like.
But I D5am not very good, so I would prC5actice every night.
[Pre-Chorus]
And she said, “SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out the way you want them to. 
SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out the way they should flow through.
SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out the way you want them to.
SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out. It’s better mC5e than it is you.”
[Chorus]
“Bb5Break your neck, and I will lG5ove you like a bird that cannoD5t fly. You will C5be fine.”
And she says, “BBb5reak your neck, and I will lG5ove you every D5night. You will C5be mine.”
[Verse]
I would stop dF5oing all those things the doctor tBb5ells me not to do
But I don’D5t think he understands, I do all oC5f these things for you 
And you've got F5gold plastic on your shelf that they gave Bb5to everybody else
And you could D5say it says your name but I don'C5t think that that would help
[Pre-Chorus]
And she said, “SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out the way you want them to. 
SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out the way they should flow through.
SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out the way you want them to.
SF5ometD5imes, tG5hings just C5don’t work Bb5out. It’s better me than it is you.”
[Chorus]
“Bb5Break your neck, and I will lG5ove you like a bird that cannoD5t fly. You will C5be fine.”
And she says, “BBb5reak your neck, and I will lG5ove you every D5night. You will C5be mine.”
[Bridge]
And tA5oday we could Bb5do something that we've F5never done before
And tA5oday we could Bb5do something F5more
And tA5oday we could Bb5do something that we've F5never done before
