      I dont know how tenth ave plays this, but these are the actual chords, and for it 
to sound right, to me at least, your guitar needs to be a full step down. these 
are the chromatically correct chords (rather than relative to tuning) so if you 
tune your guitar down a step, to D standard, you will be playing with the G shape.

Thanks to darksladex for the layout, i merely copied what chords i think are 
correct over his format.


(intro)
F  Bbmaj7/D   F  Bbmaj7/D  F  Am   Bb  

Verse 1:
  F                          Bbmaj7/D
I called you up, you were in bed,
                                        F
could barely make out the words that you said
        F                   Am            Bb
But you wanted to see me instead, so I got dressed 
      F                    Bbmaj7/D  F                    Bbmaj7/D
and I stepped out into the snow, and walked for a mile or so 
         F                           Am         Bb
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest 

Dm F Gm7 Bb9  x2

Verse 2:
         F                   Bbmaj7/D
Well you finally came to the door, 
       F                     Bbmaj7/D
and we talked for an hour or more 
        F                              Am
Until I asked if you would stay up til four, 
                Bb
you said that's fine.
               F                           Bbmaj7/D
But you said, "there's something I have to say, 
      F                         Bbmaj7/D
and I can't because I'm just so afraid"
         F                          Am          Bb
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night 

Pre-Chorus:
Dm       F        Gm7      Bb9
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you 
Dm       F          Gm7      Bb9
Grace tonight will pull us through

Chorus:
          F                    C2/E
Until the tears have left your eyes 
          Dm                Bb9
Until the fear can sleep at night 
          F                  C2/E
Until the demons that you're scared of 
Dm          Bb9
Disappear inside 
           D               C2/E
Until this scale begins to crack 
        Dm                     G(maj)
And the weight falls from your back 
      Dm                  C/E            F
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight 

F  Bbmaj7/D   F  Bbmaj7/D

Verse 3:
           F                          Bb     
You slowly lifted your head from your hands 
            F                            Bb 
You said "I just don't think that you'll understand 
             F                    Am
You'll never look at me that way again 
                   Bb
if you knew what I did"
            F                         Bb 
And so your tears fell and melted the snow 
            F                  Bb 
You told me secrets nobody had known 
      F                          Am       
But I never loved you more, even though 
                    Bb
Now I know what you did 

Pre-Chorus: (repeat)
Dm      F/C        Gm7      Bb9
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you 
Dm       F/C        Gm7      Bb9
Grace tonight will pull us through

Chorus:
          F                    C2/E
Until the tears have left your eyes 
          Dm                Bb9
Until the fear can sleep at night 
          F                  C2/E
Until the demons that you're scared of 
Dm          Bb9
Disappear inside 
           D               C2/E
Until this scale begins to crack 
        Dm                     G(maj)
And the weight falls from your back 
      Dm                  C/E            F
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms...

(repeat)

F  Bbmaj7/D   F  Bbmaj7/D
F  Am   Bb
