Not my original tab so I didn't do the hard yards but just wanted to correct the verse chord progression. Sounds much better played like this.
The A/G# chord is best picked as:
E ---------------------
B -------2----------------
G ---2-----------------
D -----2----------------
A -----------------------
E -4---------------------
[Verse 1]
The Eonly time I've seen you was aAbout a A/G#year ago E
I was afraid to hold you but I Awanted A/G#you to know E
I Btouched your tiny perfect AhandB before I went upAtown
I Edidn't pick you up because I'd Ahave to Bput you Edown
[Verse 2]
For Ereasons that don't make much sense and Ayou won'tA/G# understand E
I've stayed away for your first year, it's Asort of A/G#what I planned E
But BI've been in your neighbourAhood,B sometimes just blocks aAway
I Edidn't come to visit youA because BI couldn't Estay
[Bridge]
ThereF#m was a baby Aon a plane,B maybe she was tEwo
And F#mshe was smiling Aat me IB was not sure what to Edo
I've Bkept my distance from AyouB a year's much more than a Awhile
And Eso I looked away from herA too aBshamed to sEmile
[Verse 3]
When EI saw you last year, I knew thatA there wasA/G# no mistake E
Amazing things can happen whyA just look what A/G#life can maEke
But Blife can get so hard someAtimesB some feelings can't be Atamed
And Epeople get so angryA frighBtened and asEhamed
[Verse 4]
You've Ebeen a sort of secret for a Ayear I've A/G#told but few E
Although I’m sure that where you areA so many A/G#must love youE
And BI've passed by your AwindowB but haven't dared look Ain
AlEthough I know I'd love you too, I'mA too sBcared to beEgin
