Most of the guitar part is just power chords over these changes.
 
 
G  Bm x2
 
[Verse 1]
G                             Bm
One morning this sadness will fossilize
G                        Bm
And I will forget how to cry
G                  Bm           C           G
I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change
     C                D          D#
Save perhaps a slight gray in my eye
 
G         Bm         C
I will go jogging routinely
G          Bm           C
Calmly and rhythmically run
    G                  Bm               C         G
And when I find that a knife's sticking out of my side
     C           D                   D#
I'll pull it out without questioning why
 
 
[Chorus]
             G           F
And then one warm summer night
          Em        C
I'll hear fireworks outside
         Em            D                G    B   C
And I'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry
 
 
[Verse 2]
F# G         Bm         C
   I will be married to silence
    G         Bm       C     D
The gentleman won't say a word
        G            Bm          C        G
But you know, oh you know in the quiet he holds
       C               D          D#
Runs a river that will never find home
 
 
[Chorus]
         G               F
And then one warm summer night
          Em        C
I'll hear fireworks outside
         Em            D                G    B   C
And I'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry
        G           Am
Oh, one warm summer night
          Bm        C
I'll hear fireworks outside
         Em            D                G    B   C
And I'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry
G    B   C
Cry, cry, cry
G    B   C
Cry, cry, cry
 
 
End on F#

if you dont like the D# you can substitute it for Em :P

I think Bm and B are quite hard to play, so for both of them I play G but slide all my fingers down by one fret. Not sure what that chord is called, but I think it substitutes pretty well. Edit: Also, instead of F# you can play that same chord I just mentioned.
