I'm not gonna claim this 100% accurate, it's just a start; and something I threw
together so I could just play this tune.
 
Update, 7-21-13: Changed two of the chords to CM7 and G6. Thanks to Bongobob13 for his correction.
 
Update, 1-23-14: Added a little piece to emulate the piano in the intro and transition
between verses. All credit again goes to Bongobob13, thanks mate!

[Verse 1]
                CM7                    Em
I won’t let your smile get lost in the fog
                CM7                     Em
I won’t let your dreams run away in the dark
                 CM7
Still recall the way you were
                      Em
And that look in your eyes
                     CM7
Still recall the the way you were
                      Em
And that look in your eyes
 
[Interlude]
CM7 Em x2
 
[Verse 2]
               CM7                        Em
Can’t hear the sound of God ringing in my ears
                 CM7                           Em
I still feel the pain I’ve carried with me for years
                        CM7
Still recall the way you were
                      Em
And that look in your eyes
                             CM7
Still recall the the way you were
                      Em
And that look in your eyes
 
[Chorus]
        G6             Asus2      Em
You can leave when the walls fall down
      G6          Asus2        Em
I can tell by the look in your eyes
       G6           Asus2           Em
You’re alone on the rope and if you can’t find no hope
           G6    Asus2
Don’t look down
           CM7   Dsus2
Don’t look down
 
[Interlude]
CM7 Em x2
 
[Chorus]
        G6             Asus2      Em
You can leave when the walls fall down
      G6          Asus2        Em
I can tell by the look in your eyes
       G6           Asus2                Em
You’re alone on the rope and if you can’t find no hope
           G6    Asus2
Don’t look down
           CM7   Dsus2
Don’t look down

Another small addition might be the little run down on the intro to go with the hammer ons on the D, to take the part of the piano. So the full basis for the intro would look something like: [tab] Cm7 Em e |--0---0----0---0----0---------|--0---0----0---0----0---------| B |--0---0----0---0----0---------|--0---0----0---0----0---------| G |--0---0----0---0----0---0-----|--0---0----0---0----0---0-----| D |--2---0h2--2---0h2--2----4-0--|--2---2h0--2---2h0--2----4-0--| A |--3---3----3---3----3---------|--2---2----2---2----2---------| E |--3---3----3---3----3---------|--0---0----0---0----2---------| [/tab] Repeat that a few times and you should be good to go into the verse.

Good catch, those definitely sound better. Just submitted and update with both included.

Cm7 sounds better than a C/G here, so: 332000
