Verse:
E       A       B        A     G#m             F#m            E
Furnish me with childish glee, walk me hold me take me to the
A        B           A       G#m           F#m                         E
American embassy and get me, signed up and delivered where you'll have
            A              B                 A                G#m
a brand new passport photo, from a brand new passport picture booth
              F#m                E
the film with teeth and hair and eyes,
    A              B                  A                  G#m           F#m
and I smile in the flash bulb, in the flash bulb, in the flash bulb of fallen love
E     A           B          A         G#m         F#m          E           A
Hope, hope is the thing with feathers, butterflies flutter by my windowside
          B            A            G#m             F#m
it's over, it's over forever, or at least until the morning
     E      A     B                     A
and I shot you, I shot straight at your heart,
        G#m                        F#m         E           A
but the gun was that type with the little flag, that pops out
     B              A                 G#m       F#m
that pops out, that pops out with the word BANG written on it

Chorus:
  G#m                            A
I watched you from a distance, I built myself a day,
F#m               B       A
just for waiting, just to hear you say
 E    A           B         A         G#m F#m
"yes, I will come back to the house tonight"
E    A           B         A         G#m F#m
yes, I will come back to the house tonight

Verse:
E             A             B             A
I have just returned from a thousand year time trip
         G#m             F#m        E
and I'll tell you what I saw, I saw
         A             B         A             G#m            F#m
children holding hands, children kissing in the park, and after dark
E         A         B                A             G#m      F#m      E
spinning, spinning, spinning, and in everything an ice cold whiskey
              A            B           A                  G#m         F#m   E
and everybody lives forever, everybody lives together and dreams come true
         A        B     A              G#m      F#m  E
and I~ am swimming, I~ am swimming in a river of love
     A           B   A             G#m      F#m         E
and I~ am pissing, I~ am pissing in my swimming trunks.
            A            B            A      G#m        F#m     E
I can only guess, how it feels to be adored, sloop john b
             A           B     A              G#m           F#m
watching you glistening, high upon the diving board, sloop, sloop

Chorus:
  G#m                            A
I watched you from a distance, I built myself a day,
F#m               B       A
just for waiting, just to hear you say
 E    A           B         A         G#m F#m
"yes, I will come back to the house tonight"
E    A           B         A         G#m F#m
yes, I will come back to the house tonight
E    A    B    A                       G#m   F#m
yes, yes, yes, I will come back to the house tonight


I believe this song is played with mostly bar chords, sometimes sliding from one to another a bit.
but whatever works for you :)
