Ben plays the song I think in a different tuning but the tabs and chords sound fine when playing over
the song.
Also, the bridge is a bit off, so if anyone can improve then please do.
For the first verse only, play these tabs in place of the chords:

[Verse 1]
Em Em/A
She's got a little house in town
G
I sometimes go around, there
G/F#
To see her
Em Em/A
And she let me deep inside
G
I sing her love songs
G/F#
But she'll turn a blind eye
Em Em/A
Cause she ain't the sentimental type
G G/F#
I keep my heart in my pocket and I hold
G/F#*
I hold it tight
[Chorus]
Em G
I know that she don't mind if I
Em
Go away and I don't call
C
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
Em G
I know that she don't mind if I
Em
Go away and I don't call
C Em
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all
C
Through it all
Em C
Through it all
[Verse 2]
Em G
Her skin is softer than the bluest eyes
C
With the warmth that I need
D
Gives me a place
Em G
To hide from the streetlights burning through the bedroom window
C D* D
In the shadows yeah there's loneliness we cling to
Em G
When the morning comes
C
We'll go, we'll go our separate ways
D Em
Ain't no magic here, ain't no reason to stay
[Chorus]
Em G
I know that she don't mind if I
Em
Go away and I don't call
C
I know that she don't mind if I'm absent through it all

I know that she don't mind if I
Em
Go away and I don't call

[Bridge]
Em C
And we fall through empty corridors
G D
And we talk in useless metaphors
Em C
Yeah we fall through empty corridors
G D
And we talk in useless metaphors

And we fall through empty corridors
G D
And we talk in useless metaphors
