One of the few You Tube versions which includes the INTRO is this one from Tony Bennett:

It's a very slow tempo and you need your capo at fret 3 to play along.
I've added the tab for the intro used on the George Harrison version - I play it as the solo:

Intro
[Cmaj7] [C7]
Is there anyone around who cannot see that
[Am] [G7] [C7]
It’s the well known runaround that you’re giving me?
[Dm] [Fmaj7] [C] [G+]
I suppose you’ll tell me I’m all wrong.
[Cmaj7] [C7]
It’s a bitter pill to take, coming from you
[Am] [G7] [C7]
Though I’ve made a big mistake, what can I do?
[Dm] [Fmaj7] [C] [G7]
I don’t know what makes me string along.
Verse 1
[C] [Am7] [Dm7] [G7] [C] [Am7] [Dm7] [G7]
I don't want you But I hate to lose you
[Gm7] [C7] [F] [Fm] [C] [G7] [C] [G+]
You got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea
Verse 2
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G7]
I forgive you 'Cause I can't forget you
[Gm7] [C7] [F] [Fm] [C] [G7] [C] [B7]
You got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea
Chorus
[E] [C#m] [F#m] [B7] [E] [C#m] [F#m] [B7]
I want to cross you off my list But when you come knocking at my door
[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7] [Eb7] [D7] [G7]
Fate seems to give my heart a twist and I come running back for more
Verse 3
[C] [Am] [Dm] [G7] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G7]
I should hate you But I guess I love you
[C] [C7] [F] [Fm] [C] [G7] [C]
You got me inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea
