That is more or less the intro as Seth plays it.

VERSE:

G                Em
Regret for every step I took
     C              D*
From Fisher Road to Hollywood
G               Em
Feelin' bad and actin' good
C                D*  
Never was content

G                       Em
It was hostel moves and hotel rooms
        C               D*
Watch my friends promote their dooms
G               Em
From Pontiac to Newport News
C                       D*
Nothin' made much sense

G                       Em
And I had to leave a few behind
        C               D*
When they replaced the apple wine
G                       Em
With cocaine and codeine pills
        C               D*
I knew I was done

G                       Em
And I didn't really say goodbye
        C               D*
They'll walk their path and I'll walk mine
G                       Em
I will find other ways
        C               D*
To tear my body down

CHORUS:

D||-0-2--4--5--| G         C
    I am staying here with you...
D||-0-2--4--5--| G         C
    I've done all I know to do...

          G                          D/F#
They say "stand up straight and take your eyes
Em                   G
Off the wooden floor"
C                            D*
No, I didn't find what I was looking for

D||-5-----4-2-| D*  C  (WALKC WN BM IA R TO INTRO)
    Still I had to go
                Am  D*       G
    From Fisher Road to Hollywood

D||-5-----4-2-| D*  C  (WALKC WN BM IA R TO INTRO)
    Still I had to go
                Am  D*       G
    From Fisher Road to Hollywood

The rest of the song goes the same way:

SECOND VERSE

G                Em
They taught some bigger words to me
C               D*
At the university
G                Em
Only it's a curse to speak
C               D*
Without some regard

G                Em
For the ones I'm talking to
C               D*
Do I sound like a friend to you
G                Em
Do we even speak the same
C               D*
Language anymore
