From 2013's Let It All In album I've made a tab out, followed by a fake arrangement with the chords only Standard tuning Capo 4 to play along to the original D xx0232 A x02220 G 320003 Em 022000 Em(addmaj7) 021000 Em7 020000 Riff - this pattern is the basis for most of this wonderful tune It's practically one note per syllable of the lyric so the rhythm isn't too bad Don't be intimidated!
