There wasn't a submitted tab for this song but I found this pretty solid one online! It seems to do the trick.
There is a guitar that plays the vocal melody during the chorus but it's pretty easy to work out.

[Verse 1]
        Dsus4      D
Well, I Won't come back, and I won't say no
     D                                                Cadd9
But that means the circle around us will cut a little lower
          G
Like you said
Dsus4     D
One play near, you seem so surprised
                                        Cadd9
Least inside you get that pretty little nightmare
           G
It comes alive
 
 D
Baby ran, she ran away
 D
Why she ran, I got to say
     Cadd9            G
I'm lonesome all the time
 D
Baby ran, she ran away
 D
Why she ran, I got to say
  Cadd9            G
I know one reason why

[Verse 2]
      Dsus4        D
Well, each time I see you so far away
   D                                       Cadd9
A love letter worry that tells me that I'm all right
     G
All right
Dsus4   D
Here am I, who chose to ride
 D                                              Cadd9
Pass me wondering whether I got a job, but it's all right
       G
Until one day
 
 
 D
Baby ran, she ran away
 D
Why she ran, I got to say
     Cadd9            G
I'm lonesome all the time
 D
Baby ran, she ran away
 D
Why she ran, I got to say
  Cadd9            G
I know one reason why, my baby ran away

Notes:
 
-Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time.
-Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the
 downbeats (1234) fall.
-Octave parts in the Break have been combined into one guitar part.
-This tab is of the version of the song that appears on the CD "Radio Love
 Songs: The Singles Collection". It has some differences from the original
 version (which is on the album "54-40").
