D              Bm              F#m    A
I need you to reach me, teach me how to love
D              Bm              F#m     A
I need you to reach me, teach me how to learn
G                         A
Cos I must have got it wrong,
                         Bm
If I had love then it's gone
                     E                  G
I've been living without it for oh so long
                       A
But that's the way it goes, I suppose
 
 
Chorus:
D                            Bm
We made enough mistakes between
                          F#m
The two of us to sink this thing
             A                      D
We're still clinging on for life
                            Bm
We made enough mistakes between
                          G
The two of us to sink this thing
             A
We're still clinging on for life
 
 
Intro chords
 
D              Bm              F#m    A
I need you to reach me, teach me how to love
D              Bm              F#m     A
I need you to reach me, teach me how to learn
G                              A
       But that's the way it goes
                         Bm
When your head can but suppose
                E                              G
And instead of answers it's full of I don't knows
                       A
And that's the way it goes, I suppose
 
 
Chorus:

The first line ( I need you to reach me, teach me how to love) should be an E, and (The two of us to sink this thing) in the chorus that line should have a G at the end. But it's basically right. Well done. :)

Awesome. Only thing I noticed is that E sounds closer to the original than Bm in the chorus.
