I'd sugegst playing all bare chords, except the E which is an open chord.
* Some parts in the chorus, where they sing the word "just", it's very faint, but it's there.
I have kept it in the lyric for accurate positioing of the chords.
 
 
[Intro]
 
C#m A x3
E G#
 
 
[Verse]
 
C#m           A
The sun makes no apologies
C#m      A                 C#m
it falls against the broken sea
               A                   E         G#
The wind blows through me like the worn down boxer
C#m          A             C#m              A               C#m
He looks his victor in the eye to find whats left of his own pride
            A                E       G#          A      F#
The bell is ringing and he’s not the winner this time
 
 
 
[Chorus]
          E    B         C#m      A       F# E
And maybe someday you’ll come and save me
     B          G#                 E        B       C#m      A      F#
Just before the midday train comes crashing over to take my number
     E             B               G#          A
Well could it be I just believe in only having optimistic afternoons
 
C#m  A x3
E G#
 
[Verse]
 
C#m        A                C#m
If I could change the way I see
             A             C#m
a glass half full of guarantees
        A            E         G#
or have another from fait’s bartender
C#m       A             C#m
looks his victim in the eye
      A                 C#m
Never thinks to ask him why
            A           E       G#          A     F#
the bell is ringing and not the winner this time
 
[Chorus]
 
          E    B         C#m      A       F# E
And maybe someday you’ll come and save me
     B          G#                 E        B       C#m      A      F#
Just before the midday train comes crashing over to take my number
     E             B               G#          A
Well could it be I just believe in only having optimistic afternoons
 
C#m A x3
A G# G F#
 
[Outro]
          E   B          C#m      A       F# E
And maybe someday you’ll come and save me
       B        G#                 E        B       C#m      A      F# E
Just before the midday train comes crashing over to take my number
     B          G#
Just before the midday train comes
 
E   B   C#m  A
someday
     F#      E   B   G#
Just maybe someday yeah heah heah
      E   B   C#m A
maybe someday
  F#       E   B   G#                           A
just maybe someday yeah heah you’ll come and save me....
