E        F#                   E
I  don't wanna let you out of my sight
      F#                  E
Don't wanna let you on to your flight
    F#                    E
The fortune teller mighta been right
    F#                          E
the bad old world can turn your hair white




B       A              G#
and sometimes we don't come through
    A             G#
sometimes we just get by
    A           G#
but I know with you I've
A              G#           BBBB

don't wanna wipe the tear from your eye
  F#                          E
I took this chance to write a message
     F#                    E
It's just to say that I'll miss you




B       A              G#
and sometimes we don't come through
    A             G#
sometimes we just get by
    A           G#
but I know with you I've
A              G#           BBBBE
never seen the devil's eye

The Go-betweens were one of the most underrated bands ever; saddly,
they broke up in 1990

RIP 79-90

I disagree with a fair bit of this. I think the verse chords are E and a variation of F#m. The F#m chord has open high E and B strings. The G string is fingered on the second fret (A), while the D string and A string are both fingered on the fourth frets (F# and C# respectively).
I don't think there's a B chord at the start of the chorus. Instead its G#m. The chords for this bit are G#m,A,G#m,A,G#m,A,G#m,B,A,B,A, and then back to the verse. The B and A chords in the chorus are, I think, bar chords with the open E and B strings. Grant McLennan uses chords like these with open strings quite often.
