This is a fairly easy song with a couple of tricky solo bits (but you can just 
ignore them and the song sounds fine without 'em)

The version i'm submitting is just Robert Levon Been, you can watch it here

D
Time stands too still,
      Bm            G
Left you there for the kill,
D
But this hope that sorrow brings,
      Bm       G        G6
Leaves a man with nothing,

Another day you leave behind,

D
Love grows so thin,
       Bm              G
Suits your taste for bitter ends,

Leaves no place to begin,
