I think that all other versions have some mistakes either in the chords of the bridge or 
the Intro-Tabs. So here's what I think sounds authentic.

For the sake of playability I transposed it from A to G, hence Capo 2 ;)

[Verse]
             
   You used to

              
 captivate me 

            
  by your reso

                  
nating light
             
   but now I'm

              
 bound by the 


life you left 

behind
             
   Your face i

         
t haunts    my

 once pleasant

 dreams
             
   your voice 

              
it chased away

 
   all the san

ity in me

I've tried so 

            
hard to tell m
