So as a person who just picked up the guitar and knows some basic chords (G D Em C) I 
you can play like any song with them. These chords seemed to work for me so I hope they 
for you!

Capo 3


Verse 1:
               G          C             G         C
You would have kept those words on your tongue,
           G         C             G         C
If you had known the hurt they had done.
           G         C                 G          C
While your fists stay by, right by your side,
                G         C      G      C
Your words they bruise me deep inside.

Chorus:
                C          D          G      C
I'd rather have sticks and stones and broken bones
         C         D      Em
than the words you say to me,
             C       D        G         C
Cause I know bruises heal and cuts will seal
         Em             D         G
but your words beat the life from me.

Verse 2:
Sometimes your words are thick as lead,
You swing them strong upside my head.
But what hasn't killed has made me strong,
So i'll take my scars and move along.

*Chorus*

Bridge:
D              G               C
Goodbye is the best way that I know,
   D           G                C
To forgive and still be letting go.

*Chorus*
