I think that all other versions have some mistakes either in the chords of the bridge or
the Intro-Tabs. So here's what I think sounds authentic.
For the sake of playability I transposed it from A to G, hence Capo 2 ;)

[Verse]
G Bm
I'm so tired of being here

'cause your presence still lingers here - and it won't leave me alone

But you still have all of me
