The 'Up to par...' part :
                                     D D U U D U
e:|--throw in some open e & B -------0-0-0-0-0-0----|

E:|--7-7-7-***-7-7-7-7---5-5-5-***------------------|

*** means: just strum the chord (listen to the record)

             I'm not 100% sure about this last chord

Outro :
This is just the chorus played a couple of times with just an E/Esus4/E transition in
between; and at the end of the song: E/Fmin/E. Something like this:

E:|---------|-0-***-0-0-0-***-|---------|-0-***-------0---|

This name I got we all agreed
See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still

I'm the sign and you can read.
I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
I can hear you.  I can hear you.  I can hear you.

This name I got we all agree
See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still

{same as intro}
I can hear you.  I can hear you.  I can hear you.

You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue
You could get away from me.  Get away from me.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
I can hear you.  I can hear you.  I can hear you.
I can hear you.  I can hear you.  I can hear you.
Can you hear me?
