[Verse]
Cm   Ab               Eb               Ab
I'm always on the outside looking in
                              Bb
It's where I've always been
Cm   Ab                                   Eb
But the edge is where all the sparks fly
                             Ab
When the wheel spins
Cm   Ab          Eb                            Ab
I swear someone is leaving messages for me
                Bb
Under my feet
Cm   Ab      Eb                               Ab
In bubblegum on the sidewalks of my street
                                      Cm
On the sidewalks of my street

[Verse]
Cm   Ab       Eb                                 Ab
Deep down I know I should leave the past behind
                    Bb
Maybe in time
Cm   Ab                            Eb                             Ab
If only I could learn to let go of the hand that first held mine
 
[Bridge]
Bb
Took a walk down memory lane
Just to see what still remained
Only to find out just about everything had changed
Cm Ab Bb (x2)
 
[Chorus]
Eb         Bb           Cm             Ab
We will splinter and we will divide
Eb         Bb                Cm             Ab
We will disappear to two different sides
Eb      Bb                 Cm                 Ab
And I hope that the world in which you find
Eb            Bb                       Cm           Ab
Yourself is better than the one you leave behind
Cm Ab Eb Ab Bb
 
[Verse]
Cm   Ab          Eb                                Ab
One day we'll return and we'll take a look around
                         Bb
See the me and you of every town
Cm    Ab                     Eb
The dreamers who are yet to learn
                                Ab
That everyone will try to shoot them down
 
[Bridge]
Bb
Spilling their guts down the radio wire
Like preaching to the Christmas choir
But they wouldn't piss on you
Even if you were on fire
 
Cm Ab Bb (x4)
 
[Chorus]
Eb         Bb           Cm             Ab
We will splinter and we will divide
Eb         Bb                Cm            Ab
We will disappear to two different sides
Eb      Bb                 Cm                 Ab
And I hope that the world in which we find
Eb             Bb                 Cm                     Ab
Ourselves returning to is better than the one we left behind
Eb   Bb     Cm                      Ab
                  Better than the one we left behind
Eb   Bb     Cm                      Ab
              Is better than the one we left behind
Eb      Bb                   Cm                 Ab
          Better than the one we left behind

They play it with a capo on 3rd fret (see also mattrile's comment) - makes it more strightforward for the rhythm guitar; lead plays without capo
