Email me at amygoldfine@earthlink.net if you have any questions/corrections/suggestions (this is my first tab ever).

The numbers after each chord are the number of beats/strums assigned to each chord.
All chords are power chords.  If you are familiar with playing Alkaline Trio songs, this will be a cinch.  
If not, it's a great starting point.

Bb (4)	Ab (4)	Db (8)

Verse 1:

Bb (4)		      Ab (4)			Db (4)		       Gb (4)
i woke up from a dream, i could've sworn i heard the 'phone

        Bb (4)		Ab (4)		Eb (4)		       Db (4)
fan's blowing in the corner like it does when she's at home

Bb (4)		      Ab (4)		Db (4)		Gb (4)
familiar desperate feeling, always cold and dark inside

        Bb (4)		Ab (4)			Eb (4)		 Db (4)
i'll probably sit here hoping soon that she'll be by my side.

Chorus:

Ab (8)		   Db (8)			
yeah, i saw her smile that chased the blues away, 

Ab (8)	
her warmth will make it all okay

     B (8)		         	    Eb (8)
'cause it's one to go and one to stay,	i guess it has to be that way

   Db (8)				  Ab (8)	
i found my kindred spirit, now she's with me as i sleep

          B (8)				            Eb (8)	
and it's in her hands, up to her where she'll put my soul to keep. 

Repeat Intro

Verse 2:

Bb (4)		   Ab (4)			Db (4)	         Gb (4)
out there in the hard world trying to blend into the day

   Bb (4)	        Ab (4)	      Eb (4)       Db (4)
a thousand different faces stare, i try to look away 

Bb (4)	        Ab (4)		Db (4)		Gb (4)
well, i can feel her move within me and her voice is in my head

   Bb (4)	  	 Ab (4)	    Eb (4)      	Db (4)
and with that in mind i seem to find a way back home again

Repeat Chorus
