Verse 1:
 
 A                    A/F#
sometimes i get the feeling 
        G               E
that i won't be on this planet
        F       C       G
for very long
 
 
A          A/F#
i really like it here
G          E
i'm quite attached to it 
F                 C     G
i hope i'm wrong
 
 
A       A/F#       G      E
all i really wanna say
A           A/F#  G       E
you're the reason i wanna stay
A                 A/F#
i loved you before i met you
       G              E
and i met you just in time 
             F              G (let ring)
cuz there was nothing left
 
Verse 2:
 
A         A/F#
I sat here on my suitcase
      G         E
In our empty new apartment
         F            C  G
'Til the sun went down
 
       A                  A/F#
Then I walked back down the stairs
           G               E
With all my bags and drove away
           F           C G
You must be freaking out
 
A     A/F#    G       E
All I know is I gotta be
A        A/F#       G       E
Where my heart says I oughta be
A                 A/F#
It often makes no sense In fact
G           E                   F      G
I never understand these things I feel

                  C

Another really easy way to hit the A/F# chord (for noobs like me) is to fret the 6th string (low E) at the second fret with your thumb while repeating the A chord. Sorry of that's super obvious, but yeah, it helped me. You can use it to walk down the base line A (5th string - open), F# (6th string - 2nd fret), G (6th string - 3rd fret), E (6th string - open). God, I really feel like I'm stating the obvious. Thanks for the tab!
