These chords, especially the C and D, sound more like the CD when
voiced like this. As for the Amaj7 and Gmaj7, it's close, but I'm
pretty sure these aren't the exact chords or voicing used.

EmWhen you come back DagCain
Would you Embring me something from Dthe Cfridge?
Heard a Emrumour that the end Dis Cnear
but I Emjust got comfortaDble Chere.
DSigh.
Amaj7Let's be Dblunt.
I'm a Amaj7little distDracted.
Amaj7What do you Dwant?
EmHeadaches and Gbad faith
are Emall that I've Ggot.
First I Emmisplaced the Gending
then I Clost the Emplot.
EmOut among the free-Drange Csheep
While the Embig birds sharped Dtheir Cclaws.
For a Emtime we stuck with the DshepCherd
but you Emwouldn't play SanDta CClaus.
DSigh.
Amaj7Let's be Dblunt.
Amaj7We're a little disDtracted.
Amaj7What do you Dwant?
EmOnce we could Gfollow,
Emnow we canGnot.
You would Emnot fit our Gimage,
so we Clost the Emplot.
EmOnce we could Ghear you,
now our Emsenses are Gshot.
We've Emforgotten our Gfirst love
We have Clost the Emplot.
CLost the Emplot.
Interlude(?)
(Basically just repeatedly:  Amaj7   D   Gmaj7  C)
GWhen I saw you for the Emfirst time
You were hanging with a Gthief
And I knew my hands were Emdirty,
and I dropped my gaze.
GThen you said I was Emforgiven
and you welcomed me with Glaughter
I was happy ever Emafter
I was counting the days
when you'd come back DagCain.
We'll be waiting for you
EmWhen you comin' DagCain?
We'll be ready for you
EmMaybe we'll wake Dup Cwhen...
Maybe we'll wake up when
Emyou come back DagCain.
DLies.
Amaj7Let's be Dblunt.
We're a Amaj7little unfDaithful.
Amaj7What do you Dwant?
EmAre you still Glistening?
'Cause we're Emobviously Gnot.
We've Emforgotten our Gfirst love.
We have Clost the Emplot.
And Emwhy are you still Gcalling?
You Emforgave, we forGgot.
We're such Emexperts at Gstalling
that we've Clost the Emplot
Clost the Emplot... Clost the Emplot... Clost the Emplot.
EmWhen you come back DagCain
Would you Embring me something from Dthe Cfridge?
Heard a Emrumour that the end Dis Cnear
but I Emjust got coDmfortable Chere.

Let's be blunt.

We're a little distracted.

When I saw you for the first time

when you'd come back again.

When you comin' again?

We'll be ready for you

We've forgotten our first love.
