This is how I see it, I would appreciate some feedback because I have only been playing for 10 weeks and so some of the chords might be out, if you know better chords then please amend this and tell me to help me with my learning, it really is an excellent song.
I have always liked this one:
First Verse :
C
Come in sit down, pull up a chair
F
Speak the truth when you tell me your cares
G
Don't be afraid to talk to your brother
C F G C
Get a hold of yourself and dry up your tears
C
We'll start at the start and end at the end
F
You'll find that your mind might possibly mend
G
Well sure I can help you 'cos you can't help yourself

Have you fallen in love again ? , have you fallen in love again ?
Full Chorus:

In this kind of town you could never belong

This is the way it should end

'Cos you've fallen in love again, we-ell.
