First tab/chord dealie! You can be honest, but please be civil. This is what my 
ears heard and hands wanted to play. 
Played open E.
*Dm/G:  E   A   D   G   B  E  
       3 X 3 2 3 X
*The Dm/G was a tough choice since I liked each chord sound. My better half 
pointed out the G is the bass chord likewise the Dm a treble. So you can play the 
Dm/G, either of the 2 or with someone & split them.
Whew, the rest is pretty easy. :-)
Verse 1:
 I          A  Dm/Gfeel           like I could run awAay
GLooking at a darker dDay
Oh I'm pGulling the shades aAway from my eyes
It's true      Athe Dm/Gmoody  manners come and Ago
And it's bGetter that you never knCow
CHORUS:
CSome things are Fmbetter left unsaid
CSome strings are Fmbetter left undone
CSome hearts are Fmbetter left unAbrokA7enA  A7  
CSome lives are Fmbetter left untouched
CSome lies are Fmbetter off believed
CSome words are Fmbetter left unAspokA7enA  A7  
Verse 2:
AMy         Dm/Gideas       seem to frighten Ayou
Are you Greally that afraid to mDove
Oh I Gguess that it's your right to Areason
AI'm still Gdealing with a force that's so Astrong
The Gforce is stringing us Calong
CHORUS:
CSome things are Fmbetter left unsaid
CSome strings are Fmbetter left undone
CSome hearts are Fmbetter left unAbrokA7enA  A7  
CSome lives are Fmbetter left untouched
CSome lies are Fmbetter off believed
CSome words are Fmbetter left unAspokA7enA  A7  
solo before outro (ad nauseum):
A  A7

              (Can't quite understand this lead before outro)
Outro:      A        C        G       D              Arepeat til fade
