[Verse 1] (Fingerpicked)
  Am                                          F
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
  Am                                      F
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
   Am                                  F
I apologise that once again I'm not in love
                     Am                                 F
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
            Dm              G7*
It's just a thought, only a thought
 
[Chorus]
          C  G    F
But if my life is for rent
      C     G        F      G
And I don't learn to buy
         C             G         F      G
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
 
[Verse 2] (Strummed)
     Am                                              F
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
   Am                                   F
To travel the world alone and live more simply
       Am                              F
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
              Am                          F
Cause there's really nothing left here to stop me
            Dm              G7**
It's just a thought, only a thought
 
[Chorus]
          C  G    F
But if my life is for rent
      C     G        F      G
And I don't learn to buy
         C             G         F      G
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
 
   C     G    F
If my life is for rent
    C      G         F      G
And I don't learn to buy
         C             G         F      G
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
 
[Bridge]
      C             G            Dm           G
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
      C                 G         Dm         G
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
              Dm         G7*
Well, how can I say I'm alive?
 
[Chorus]
      C  G    F
If my life is for rent
      C     G        F       G
And I don't learn to buy
         C             G         F      G
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
 
[Chorus]
   C     G    F
If my life is for rent
    C      G         F      G
And I don't learn to buy
         C             G         F      G
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
 
[Outro]
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
              C  G            F
Cause nothing I have is truly mine

I'm not sure the chords in the bridge (if that's the correct term) are quite right - shouldn't it be the following? While my [C]heart is a [G]shield and I [Dm]won?t let it [G]down While I am [C]so afraid to [G]fail so I [Dm]won?t even [G]try Well how can [Dm]I say I?m a[G]live

good tab, been waiting for someone to put some of the new dido on
