I don't think the song is in standard tuning but here you go 
 
G C Em Am C G C 2x 
 
Em    Am               C 
Sarah runs to feel the burning in her lungs 
            G 
To feel her head  
       F               D 
Do you know what Sarah meant? 
              Am        C 
Then she said you be my guest 
   G               F                   Em 
To keep the taste, they may erase your memories 
    Am                C           G 
But wait for you, you even on the rain 
 
        C           Em        Am 
I can't be what you need I am stuck 
     C          G          C 
In a tree, I am stuck in a tree 
G         C               Em 
Don't you know she's been here 
    Am            C              G 
All along, in the tree she belongs 
       C 
In the tree 
 
Em    Am            C 
Every day I'll make promises that way 
           G              F              D 
To Sarah's heart so I can watch her fall apart 
                   Am          C 
'Cause I know when I break her down 
     G                 F                Em 
Must mean that all the happy plans that live around 
Am                   C 
This muddy town, she was, we like  
  G               F 
A dog and when we mess around 
  Em               Am 
I let her know the truth like down 
     C               G 
That I unfold, we're staying down 
      F                 Em 
Every time I wake her I say again 
    Am 
The game I play 
     C          G 
That I make all mistakes 
 
C Em Am C G C 
G C Em Am C G C
