This tab requires an alternate tuning and a capo on the 5th fret, to do it:
E - D (Down one tone)
A - A
D - D
G - G
B - A (Down one tone)
E - D (Down one tone)
Through out the song, you can strum all of the strings, but it'll sound closer to the
if you only do the high strings lightly. All fingerings relative to the capo.

Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time
The end of that part goes back into the intro chords, which are sometimes played twice
sometimes once. Thats the structure throughout the song.
Tell her not to go
I ain't holding on no more
Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time
Tell her not to cry
I just got scared thats all
Tell her I'll be by her side, all she has to do it call
All she has to do is call
Tell her the chips are down
I drank too much and shouted it aloud
Tell her something in my heart needs her more than even clowns
Need the laughter of the crowd.
Tell her what was wrong
I sometimes think too much but say nothing at all
Tell her from this high terrain, I am ready now to fall
I am ready now to fall
Tell her not to go
I ain't holding on no more
Tell her nothing if not this, all I want to do is kiss her
Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time.
