tab so hopefully there aren't too many mistakes. feedback would be much appreciated 
Standard tuning, no capo 
------------------------------------------------
DmI've noticed, people, they all have motives.
Different, yet all the Gsame.
I Dmfumble through every word that was spoken,
and I barely knew your Gname.
I'm Dmtongue-tied, it runs through my blood and my insides;
Some things we can't eGscape.
                   Bb             C             Bb   Am(strum once)
But if we try, if we try, we can leave this behind.
It's been a Flifetime, a Amlifetime we waiCted for.
A simple Fquestion, kid, "are you Amwith me or not Cat all?"
Your Dmeyes wide, always ahead of the curve type,
Quiet, and confiGdent.
Oh, we Dmstood there, awkward and youthful, we tangled;
A piece of my soul eGscaped.
Oh, we are Bbrestless and tired of Csleeping with giants,
A Bbmodern mankind with their Amegos of fire and it seems like
It's been a Flifetime, a Amlifetime we waiCted for.
A simple Fquestion, kid, "are you Amwith me or not Cat all?"
Are we Fwasting time Amor is it Cwasting us?
It's been a Flifetime Amwaiting for Cnow, now.
CWell, you've got to Bbfind a wayC,
Cyou've got to Amfind a wDmay,
Dmyou've got to Bbfind a wCay,
Cyou've got to Amfind a Dmway,
Dmyou've got to Bbfind a wCay before you Amfold.Dm  
FIt's been a lifetime, a Amlifetime I've been waCiting for.
A simple Fquestion, kid, "are you Amwith me or not Cat all?"
FIt's been a lifetime, a Amlifetime we waCited for.
I need an Fanswer, kid, you're either Amwith me or not Cat all, no, no.
Are we Fwasting time Amor is it Cwasting us?
It's been a Flifetime, a Amlifetime, a Clifetime, lifetime, yeah.
CWell, you've got to Bbfind a wayC,
