Try as I can, I can't find this in record stores anywhere.  Anyway, the intro
is just Am sus2 - Am - G, something like

e---------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------0-----1-------0-----1------0----------1----------------------
G------2-------------2------------0---2-----0--2----------------------
D----2-------------2---------------------------2----------------------
A--0-------------0--------------3--------------0----------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------
                 ^ From what I recall, it sounds as if there is a change
in the bass note here, but I have never been able to figure out anything
that sounds good other than keeping the bass note the same (namely, an A).
Whenever I hear the song, it sounds as if the bass note has changed from
the first measure, but as I said nothing I try sounds right.

The main song goes like

       Am
We had broken up for good just an hour before
      G
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Pretty simple, huh?  You can figure out the strumming pattern.  It changes
to arpeggiation (instead of strumming) the 3rd repetition in the verse.

The chorus goes like

F   F             C                  G
       They don't write em like that anymore
Dm  Dm                 C                  G     (break into arpeggiation)
       They just don't write em like that anymore


That's all I know.  Hope it helps.
