Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
D    Gmaj7    D    Gmaj7

Verse 1:
D                              Gmaj7
  Writing a letter to you like you're a foreign pen pal
D                                  Gmaj7
Talking to you like I've never not known you
D                                 Gmaj7
Smiling at you with my heart nailed shut
D                        Gmaj7
Time-induced-healing has not been enough

Pre-Chorus:
  Em                 F#
I swear you'd always need me
  Bm               G#m7-5
I swear you'd always see me
       Em   F#                           Bm    A
As the same blood that runs through your veins

Chorus:
Gmaj7   D  F#m7               Bm
Don't come looking for me after dark
  B7             Em/B  B7 Em       Gm               D
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Gmaj7   D    F#m7              Bm
Roots of the ancient tree have changed
  B7                  Em/B     B7             Em  Gm           D    Gmaj7    D    Gmaj7
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same

Verse 2:
D                           Gmaj7
  Hanging photo examples of golden moments
D                                 Gmaj7
Your memory left in pages I wrote things down
D                     Gmaj7
Fizzy telephone calls generous to silence
D                          Gmaj7
Empty spaces and forgotten traces of you

Pre-Chorus:
  Em                 F#
I swear you'd always need me
  Bm               G#m7-5
I swear you'd always see me
       Em   F#                           Bm    A
As the same blood that runs through your veins

Chorus:
Gmaj7   D  F#m7               Bm
Don't come looking for me after dark
  B7             Em/B  B7 Em       Gm               D
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Gmaj7   D    F#m7              Bm
Roots of the ancient tree have changed
  B7                  Em/B     B7             Em  Gm           D
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same

Bridge:
A                Em    F#               Bm
  You're not dead to me 'cause you'll never be
A             Em             F#              Bm
  You're as close to gone as distance will allow
A                  Em        F#                    Bm
  Though that might seem fine, you're gone all the time

Chorus:
Gmaj7   D  F#m7               Bm
Don't come looking for me after dark
  B7             Em/B  B7 Em       Gm               D
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Gmaj7   D    F#m7            Bm
Roots of the family tree are gone
   B7       Em/B      B7      Em        Gm           D
It seems so wrong but I can't force someone to change

Outro:
Gmaj7    D Gmaj7               D
Don't come looking for me after dark
Gmaj7    D Gmaj7                    D
Don't come looking for me after dark
Gmaj7 D    Gmaj7                    D
