Capo on 9th or 4th fret.
I prefer it on 9th
 
[Verse 1]
 
          G            D           C
When your tears are spent, on your last pretense
 
         G             D                C
and your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
 
          G         D                C
when it's in your spine, like you've walked for miles
 
        G                D             C
and the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
G                D      Em               C
oh eh, oh eh, oh ewwwww oh eh, oh eh, oh ewwwww
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                       D
if your heart wears thin i will hold you up 
 
     Em                     C
and i will hide you when it gets too much.
 
          G      D
i'll be right beside you.
 
          Em     C
i'll be right beside you.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                  D                 C                       G
when you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath when the space between
 
    D                  C
the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
 
         G        D           C
when you try to speak but you make no sound 
 
        G                  D
and the words you want are out of reach 
 
            C
but they've never been so loud.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            G                       D
and if your heart wears thin i will hold you up
 
     Em                    C
and i will hide you when it gets too much.
 
          G      D
i'll be right beside you.
 
         Em      C
i'll be right beside you.
 
       G   D             Em     C
I will stay, nobody will break you
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em G  C
      trust in me, trust in me, don't pull away.
 
EM G       C
      just trust in me trust in me
 
Em                  C                          Em                   D
i'm just trying to keep this together, because i could do worse and you 
could do better
 
repeat 2 lines of VERSE 1:
          G           D           C
When your tears are spent on your last pretense.
 
          G           D                 C
and your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in you defence.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                       D
if your heart wears thin i will hold you up 
 
     Em                     C
and i will hide you when it gets too much.
 
          G      D
i'll be right beside you.
 
            Em     C
nobody will break you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                       D
if your heart wears thin i will hold you up 
 
     Em                     C
and i will hide you when it gets too much.
 
          G      D
i'll be right beside you.
 
            Em     C
nobody will break you

Would it not just be easier to take it down 9 half steps and play E B C#m A etc with no capo? Your way works, I just find Capo 9 a little annoying. Anyway, great tabbing :)
