The first part of theverse has two riffs that are repeated, an Am and a Gm riff:

[Am] [Gm]

e|-------5--------------3---------------------------------------------------
B|-----5---8-7b-------3---6-5b----------------------------------------------
G|---5--------------3-------------------------------------------------------
D|-7--------------5---------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------


The second part of the verse uses a Fm riff and a different Am riff:

e|-------0-----------1------------------------------------------------------
B|-----1-----------1--------------------------------------------------------
G|---2-----------1----------------------------------------------------------
D|-2-----------3-----------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Strum Am and Fm chords on the bridge:
[Am] [Fm]

e|---0-----1----------------------------------------------------------------
B|---1-----1----------------------------------------------------------------
G|---2-----1----------------------------------------------------------------
D|---2-----3----------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(note: try vibratin' the whole Fm chord to get the cool little effect in some places on CD)

The outro is like this x2


e|-------0-------0---------------1-------1----------------------------------
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---1---3---3-1------------------------------
G|---2-------2---------2-----1-------1---------1----------------------------
D|-2---------------------2-3---------------------3--------------------------

and then this once


e|-------0-------0---------------1------------------------------------------
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1--------------------------------------------
G|---2-------1---------2-----1----------------------------------------------
D|-2---------------------2-3------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------


and then repeat the whole outro thing again and again to fade. So some idea of timings:

Intro: Am

Verse 1:

I heard a rumour
They travel far[Am]
You know what it's like
The way people ar[Gm]e
They talk and they talk
Though they don't understa[Am]nd
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand[Gm]

Verse 1.5

Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not s[Am]o[Fm]

Verse 2
(same as last verse)

I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine

(Bridge - strum here)

[Fm]Put your little hand in [Am]mine
And believe in love
[Fm]Put your head on my [Am]chest
And [Am]breathe love
[Fm]Breathe love
[Fm]Breathe love
[Fm]Breathe love

[Am] [Fm] [Am]
Verse 3 (a lil different):

I heard it from Pet[Am]er
Who heard it from Pa[Am]ul
Who heard it from someo[Gm]ne
I don't know at al[Gm]l
I heard it from Ma[Am]ry
Who heard it from Ru[Am]th
Who swore on the bib[Gm]le
She's telling the tru[Gm]th
I heard it from Sim[Am]on
Who heard it from Jam[Am]es
Confirming with Sar[Gm]ah
That I was to bla[Gm]me
I heard it from Jose[Am]ph
Who heard it from Jo[Am]hn
Who said with convicti[Gm]on
That all hope was go[Gm]ne

Verse 3.5:

So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodb[Am]ye[Fm]
Before you say goodb[Am]ye[Fm]
Before you say goodb[Am]ye[Fm]
Outro
Before you say goodbye
