My dad and I figured this out from looking at a version we found that didn't use a Capo.
However, it is obvious that Sarah uses a capo on the 3rd fret when she plays this song.
I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's close, and you can play with it if you want. But
it's a very good start. 
CAPO ON 3RD FRET!!
VERSE1
EmTime  here
CAll  but  means  nothing
just  shEmadows  that  Gmove  'cross  the  Cwall.
EmThey  keep  me   Gcompany,   but  they  don't  Cask  of   me,
Emthey  don't  say  Gnothin'  at  Calll.
INTERLUDE
DI  need  just   a   litFtle  more  silence
DAnd  I  need  just  a  lFittle  more  time
VERSE2
EmYou  send  your  Gthieves  to   me,  Csilently  Gstalking  me
Emdragging  me  Ginto  your  Cwar.
Would  you  give  me  Emno  choice  in  Gthis?  I   know  you  Ccan't  resist,  
Emtrying  to  Gre-open  a  Csore.
CHORUS
DLeave  me  Gbe,   I  Cdon't  want  to Gargue
DI'd  just  get  conGfused,  and  I'd  Amcome  all  unDdone
And   Dif  I   agGreee,  well   it's  Cjust  to  apGpease  you
Cause  GI   don't  remEmember,  what  wCe're  fighting  Gfor.
VERSE3
You   see  love, 
A  tight  thorny  thread  that  you  spin  in   a  circle  of  gold.
You  have  me  to  hold  me,  a  token  for  all  to  see
captured  to  be  yours  alone.
I need  just  a  little  more  silence
I  need  just a  little  more  time

The  courage  to pull  away
there  will  be  hell to  pay
The  deeper  you cut  to the bone

All but means nothing

They keep me company, but they don't ask of me,

Em G C

they don't say nothin' at alll.

INTERLUDE

I need just a little more silence

D F

And I need just a little more time

VERSE2

Em G C G

You send your thieves to me, silently stalking me

Em G C

dragging me into your war.

Em G C

Would you give me no choice in this? I know you can't resist,

Em G C

trying to re-open a sore.

CHORUS

D G C G

Leave me be, I don't want to argue

D G Am D

I'd just get confused, and I'd come all undone

D G C G

And if I agreee, well it's just to appease you

G Em C G

Cause I don't remember, what we're fighting for.

VERSE3

You see love,

A tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold.

You have me to hold me, a token for all to see

captured to be yours alone.

I need just a little more silence

I need just a little more time

there will be hell to pay

The deeper you cut to the bone
