I don't think these are the exact picking patterns, but they gets to job done I suppose. 
Gavin also occasionally adds an 0h2 hammer-on on the A string for G chords and on 
the D string for C chords.

Verse 1:

      G                                C                G
Well, I woke up this morning with dead leaves inside my bed.
                 G                                     D
You said "You're better off just where you are than to be stuck in my head.
              G                                    C          G
You've got to leave it all behind you and give yourself up to chance."
   Em     D         G
So I gave myself to chance.


Verse 2:

      G                                    C                   G
And I packed a little suitcase, brushed my teeth and washed my hands.
          G                                            D
I've been bluffing here for years and now I think it's time I showed my hand.
             G                         C              Cmaj7
I'm going to move to New York City and set the sky on fire.
              Em            D                 G
Oh, don't the night look so alive with it's desire


Chorus 1:

   C                  G
To cross the River Jordan?
       D                   G
But it just don't feel the same.
       C                   G
When I came home Friday morning
     Em           D       C      G
With no one but myself to blame.
     Em           D       G


Verse 3:

    G                               C                 G
See I have trouble with numbers and paying the ones I owe.
      G                          D
And I put what I had left in the pocket of my coat.
       G                                     C                 G
I went out to find a liquor store and make a home there in the snow,
       Em            D                G
Give myself a little shelter from the cold.


Chorus 2:

           C                G
See, I was bound here by my choices.
      D                  G
Oh my god how I felt so ashamed.
        C                    G
Still I hoped that you might join us
              Em              D             G
And take this little light of ours out on parade


Melodica Section (played twice):

Em    D    G    C
Em    D    G    G


Verse 4:

  G                                 C             G
I used to look at others and try to find a way to grow.
        G                                   D
And now I just look around and I'm going to reap the seeds I've sown.
             G                          C                 Cmaj7
And I try to picture myself in Oslo but lord help me if I go.
          Em                     D                      G
I've been running around and I believe it's starting to show.


Chorus 3:

            C                  G
And so I'll cross the River Jordan
          D                   G
And if it just don't feel the same.
        C               G
And I'm not home Friday morning
          Em           D       C      G
I'll have no one but myself to blame.
