Lovers in a Dangerous Time by BNL

I've seen a couple versions of this song out there but most incorrectly have a 
capo on the third fret. There's a good clip of Ed on Youtube playing with a capo 
on 2 and the chords are pretty easy to make out. Hammer on and pull off the middle 
finger on the G-string when playing the Fmaj7 to get the riff right.

(capo on 2)
G:       320033
Am7:     x02010
Fmaj7:   x33210
Gadd11:  32001x
