NOTE: The G chords in parenthesis are optional. 
It's just the bass note being played on the way down to the F chord.
[Verse 1]
C                          G                Am G
                                              ()
  I know the reason why you think you gotta leave
F                                C                G
  Promises of future glory don't make a case for me
  C                               G               Am
I did my best and all the rest is hidden by the clouds
  G    F                     G              C
 ()                                         
I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now
[Verse 2]
C                               G                    Am G

Leaving on your wedding day, all calm and dressed in white
F                             C                G
All I'll keep's the memory of one last crooked night
    C                               G                Am
The pews are getting filled up, the organ's playing loud
  G    F                     G              C
 ()

  I know the reason why you think I oughta stay
F                              C             G
  Funny how you're telling me on my wedding day
C                                   G                   Am
Crying in those rumpled sheets like someone's 'bout to die

Why's your heart grown heavy, boy, when things were feeling light?
F                              C                   G
Turning this June morning into some dark judgment night
     C                                   G             Am
This ain't the end of nothing much, it's just another round
  G    F                     G              C
 ()
