Okay, there may be a few lyrics that don't match up with what's printed online, but HEY.  
It's The Replacements.  It's not like Paul always sings his lyrics the same way everytime, anyway.

The verses are just arpeggiated Em / C7M   chords, and the strum pattern is similar to this:
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------0------------|  
G|----------------------0-------0----------|
D|------2-----2---2---2-----2-----2--------|
A|----2-----2---2---3-----3----------------|
E|--0-----0--------------------------------|

Now here's the chords in the song:

The Ledge

Em      C7M     Em      C7M  

[Verse 1]
Em       C7M          Em                C7M  
All eyes look up to me  
Em      C7M           Em              C7M  
High above frozen streets
Em      C7M                Em           C7M  
Heed no bullhorn when it calls
Em                 C7M           Em             C7M  
Watch me fly and die, watch me fall

[Chorus]
C
I'm the boy they can't ignore
        D               
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
C                                B
All the love sent up high to pledge
                                
Won't reach the ledge

Em      C7M     Em      C7M  

[Verse 2]
Em          C7M             Em          C7M  
Wind blows cold from the west
        Em              C7M                 Em      C7M  
I smell coffee, I smell doughnuts for the brass
  Em     C7M               Em           C7M  
A girl I knew once years ago
   Em           C7M               Em    
Is tryin' to be reached on the phone

[Chorus]
C
I'm the boy she can't ignore
        D
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
C                                    B
All the love sent up high to pledge
C
I'm the boy she can't ignore
        D
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
C                                  B
All the love sent up high to pledge

[Interlude]

Em      C7M     Em      C7M  

[Solo]

Em      C7M     Em      C7M  

Em      C7M     Em      C7M  

C       D       C       D

Em              C7M     Em              C7M  

[Verse 3]
Em            C7M              Em       C7M  
Priest kneels silent, all is still
Em        C7M                 Em        C7M  
Policeman reaches from the sill
Em            C7M          Em           C7M  
Watch him try,  try his best
         Em    C7M                    Em        C7M  
There'll be no medal pinned to his chest

[Chorus]
C
I'm the boy they couldn't ignore
        D
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
C
I'm the boy they couldn't ignore
        D
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
C                   D
I'm the boy for the last time in my life
C
All the love that they pledge
        D                            Em         C7M  
For the last time will not reach the ledge

Em              C7M     Em              C7M
