This is my first try, don't mutiny me if I got chords wrong D:!
Opening Chords: F#m/ A- G#m/ A-  A-  B/A- C#m/ B-  B-  E/B- F#m/ B-C#m  
Individual notes:  G#-  F#-  E-  D#-  C#-  C#-  E(Repeat)
In the falAl,
                        Adim        
We circle through the leaves
                    A Maj 7
And talk about the little ones.
                              A   Adim
And we smile, but never say too much.
                  A Maj 7
The moment always vanishing.
                         A            Adim   AMaj7
One by one the neighbors' lights come on.
                  A   Adim       AMaj 7
Our October day is almost gone.
(Chorus)
EI   C#mknow the bBorder lines we Edrew between C#mus
BKeep the weapons down,A  
BKeep the wounded safe;A  
EI   C#mknow our Eantebellum innocence
C#mWas never Bmeant to see the lAight of our armistice day.
In the sprinAg,
                        Adim
We climbed the rolling hills
                      A Maj 7
And talked about our budding plans.
And we sAmiled,
                  Adim
Our faces like a mirror
                A Maj 7
Showing us our secret sides.
But then the fG#ights...
The C#msharp Awords Esplintering the niF#ght,
HoDw I couldn't G#be what you'd Eneed...
But oDh how I cG#ould make you Ebleed...
(Repeat chorus chords)
I know the border lines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down,
Keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
(Bridge)
  F#mBut how E/G#much would I Agive to have it Bback again?
  F#mHow E/G#much did we Alose
            B   DMaj 7
To live this way?

(Counter melody continues, but chords are replaced with chorus chords.)
