Capo II, with all chords relative.

Chord Shapes, from top string to bottom:
A -------- X02220
Aadd9 ---- X02200
C -------- X32010
G6 ------- 32000X or 320000 (I prefer the former)
Em ------- 022000
D -------- XX0232
F -------- 133211 or X3321X

If you listen to the song, you can pretty much get rhythm.
It's not too complicated. He hammers off of the A's to transition
to the Aadd9's, which are rather brief. Some chord placements may
be a little skewed. Lots of the lyrics are difficult to make out,
so if you can help with that, my e-mail's above.

Intro:

A Aadd9 C G6

Verse 1:
G6 (320000@1)      A (x02220@1) Aadd9C
Like the rain

Come down the drain 
G6 (320000@1)           A (x02220@1)   Aadd9C
Our love in sunlight,
G6 (320000@1)         A (x02220@1)  Aadd9C
And evening pain.
G6 (320000@1)      A (x02220@1) Aadd9C
Like the man
G6 (320000@1)           A (x02220@1)  Aadd9C
Romances will bring
G6 (320000@1)      A (x02220@1)  Aadd9C
Pain and love, we're
G6 (320000@1)          A (x02220@1)   Aadd9C

Em (022000@1)                              DNothing (xx0232@1)in common, ("not blood, thicker than broth"?)

Verse 2: (Identical to the first)

The same street
The same address
The same white hand
The same black dress
The same singers
From my (Unintelligible) cling
Pain and love, we're
All the same things
All the same things
In my opinion a line is never crossed
(The same thing)
Until now my inner feelings were always lost
(The same thing)
Through spirit or season, does the human (Unintelligible)
(The same thing)
Different opinion, they are the same thing

Chorus:
Nothing in common (same as before)
We're cut from different sides of the same cloth
I love the sunlight up in the evening
Nothing in common, yet they're both the same thing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

(Chorus progression to fade)
