Tabbed this by ear so not sure it's 100% correct but sounds ok on an acoustic guitar.
The F and the C in the verse should be played with two downstrokes each.

AmI feel the reins in my fingers
I feel tFhem all jusCt slip Gaway
I open my eyFes

AmI felt a shiver in my ribcage
And I can fFeel the fCear regrowG

But I swFear you Ccame tGo me
Just as you always woulFd
May you always beG

And all that I Fcould nCot containG  
Though the seasons may chFange
Love is all that remainGs

[Intro]

Am F C G

[Verse 1]

I feel the reins in my fingers

F C G

I feel them all just slip away

I open my eyes

And I fall behind

So I run towards the stables

F C G

But the colts have bolted now

And I watch them fly

Out into the night

F C G Am

[Verse 2]

I felt a shiver in my ribcage

F C G

And I can feel the fear regrow

No more hanging on

But I can't let go

I jump from sweat in the night love

F C G

But I swear you came to me

Just as you always would

May you always be

[Chorus]

Now I'm just a broken parable

Values I used to hold

Somewhere I lost it all

Babe I'm dying to be born again

Lost footsteps in the snow

Down the paths we used to roam

Don't say it was only love

Am F

Don't say I didn't love enough

C G Am

[Verse 3]

Not a ripple in the water

F C G

Not a whisper in the wind

Awake in the evening

Hoping the sun will shine again

But my colts they have all gone now

F C G

And all that I could not contain

Though the seasons may change

Love is all that remains

[Chorus]

Now I'm just a broken parable

Values I used to hold

Somewhere I lost it all

Babe I'm dying to be born again

Lost footsteps in the snow

Down the paths we used to roam

Don't say it was only love

Don't say I didn't love enough

Now I'm just a broken parable

Values I used to hold

Somewhere I lost it all

Babe I'm dying to be born again

Lost footsteps in the snow

Down the paths we used to roam

Don't say it was only love

Am F

Don't say I didn't love enough

[Outro]

Did I not love enough?

I'm dying to be born again

Did I not love enough?

I'm dying to be born again
