(VERSE 1)
Db Fmb6 Abadd11
My song is love
Db Fmb6 Abadd11
Love to the loveless shown
Db Fmb6 Abadd11
And it goes up
Gbadd9 Fmb6 Abadd11
You don't have to be alone
Db Fmb6 Abadd11
Your heavy heart
Db Fmb6 Abadd11
Is made of stone
Db Fmb6 Abadd11
And it's so hard to see you clearly
Gbadd9 Fmb6 Abadd11
You don't have to be alone
Gbadd9 Fmb6 Abadd11
You don't have to be on your own
(CHORUS)
Ebm7(11) Db5 Abadd11
And I'm not gonna take it back

You're the target that I'm aiming at

(VERSE 2)
My song is love
My song is love, unknown
But I'm on fire for you, clearly
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to be on your own
(CHORUS)
And I'm not gonna take it back
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that
You're the target that I'm aiming at
And I'm nothing on my own
Got to get that message home
And I'm not gonna stand and wait
Not gonna leave it until it's much too late
On a platform I'm gonna stand and say
That I'm nothing on my own
And I love you, please come home
My song is love, is love unknown
And I've got to get that message home
::IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CORRECT VERSION::

The chord names ARE the right names, considering this song is played in Db major: Db, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, C (5 flats). The first four strings are tuned 1/2 step up as if playing with a capo at 1, with the other two tuned as drone strings. Effectively you then play Db major just like C major in standard tuning, only without touching the top strings.
Some corrections:
* The Db* chord is listed but not used in the tab; it's played only once at the very end (see below).
* The first Ab chord is listed as Absus4, while they're both Abadd11. The 355400 one is used in the verses and choruses (you can hear the same chord shape being slid from Db to Fmb to Ab). The 320000 (call it Abadd11*) is only in the outro, that goes:
Gbadd9 - Fmb6 - Abadd11* - Bbm7 (repeated a few bars)
Gbadd9 - Fmb6 - Abadd11* - Db* (final bar)
* Also, a quick Gbadd9 is played after the Abadd11 in "Is made of stone...".
