 that the chord is held for another measure; if two chords appear with a
 slash between them, the first is played for two beats, the second for one.]

|: E             C#m                  A            E
  Ten miles from nowhere, there's a story that's true
 
A        E              F#            G# :|
about a fine girl and a boy just like you
 
they fell so deeply but then fell apart
now they say the same words of what used to be
 
 F#          G#
what used to be

I - blame you
I - blame you

He drops his car keys and crawls on the ground
finds her old hair comb she'd wear into town
can't bear to keep it or throw it away
gets back down on his knees puts it back where it lay
back where it lay
 
(Chorus)
 
 
 
The above chords are a bit awkward; so you might want to play it this way
