Respective to the capo... Intro is Am played 2 frets up (so Bm I guess) then that slides right down to Am, then the ring finger goes up to give you a C.

"now I'm not sure if I'm better or worse for the distance But we're not concerned cause there's nothing to learn from resentment" Gives me chills everytime
Lyric:- Perfumed letters of an earlier time. Memories of ladies now lay far behind. Too many lovers makes her heart go blind. Well, I should've known better. I was so foolish and I chased the sun. Young once and fine, now my days are done. Too many lovers makes you on the run. Well, I should've known better. Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon. Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon. All the while I'd look at you and you'd say, Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better. Oh baby, yes I do Well darlin', now I do. I jump from roof tops both far and wide. I stole their kisses and I robbed them blind. Leaving lovers in a bed of lies. Well, I should've known better. I was a lion tamer long ago. A veteran in the art of fooling ghosts. Much too lonely for their hearts to know. Well I should've known better. Go ahead! Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon. Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon. All the while I'd look at you and you'd say, Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better. Oh baby, now I do Well darlin, now I do. Yes, sir. Now, an old man and nothing more. Much too tired, oh, to even scores. My wife, she left me back in '94. Well I should've known better. And as I sit within my shallow grave. Looking for answers, oh, I should've saved. Just out of heaven's reach, amazing grace. Well I should've known better. Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon. Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon. All the while I'd look at you and you'd say, Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better. Well baby, now I do Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better baby. Oh, you should've known better. Oh baby, now I do. Well baby, now I do.
I freaking love this guy! On a side note, I'm trying to figure this out on guitar (just now learning to play). Could anyone help me out with the chords. I've sort of got it, but some stuff just isn't sounding right. Thanks!

Lyric:-
Perfumed letters of an earlier time.
Memories of ladies now lay far behind.
Too many lovers makes her heart go blind.
Well, I should've known better.
I was so foolish and I chased the sun.
Young once and fine, now my days are done.
Too many lovers makes you on the run.
Well, I should've known better.
Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon.
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
All the while I'd look at you and you'd say,
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better.
Oh baby, yes I do
Well darlin', now I do.
I jump from roof tops both far and wide.
I stole their kisses and I robbed them blind.
Leaving lovers in a bed of lies.
Well, I should've known better.
I was a lion tamer long ago.
A veteran in the art of fooling ghosts.
Much too lonely for their hearts to know.
Well I should've known better.
Go ahead!
Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon.
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
All the while I'd look at you and you'd say,
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better.
Oh baby, now I do
Well darlin, now I do.
Yes, sir.
Now, an old man and nothing more.
Much too tired, oh, to even scores.
My wife, she left me back in '94.
Well I should've known better.
And as I sit within my shallow grave.
Looking for answers, oh, I should've saved.
Just out of heaven's reach, amazing grace.
Well I should've known better.
Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon.
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
All the while I'd look at you and you'd say,
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better.
Well baby, now I do
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better.
Oh baby, now I do.
Well baby, now I do.
