why anyone hasn't made a correct, definitive chord sheet of it.
Anyway, here goes my version.

CHORUS 1:
F
My fingertips are holding
Am
onto the cracks in our foundation,
G

F
every time that you're upset and I smile.
G
i know I should forget, but I can't.
VERSE 4:
C F
You said I must eat so many lemons
C F
'cause I am so bitter.

'cause they are much fitter."
