Well, I've seen a couple of versions of this, and personally,
they're not all quite right, so I looked up all the videos I could
and got this. :]. I hope you enjoy.
Note: The chord names take up too much room,
So when it says "Cmaj7-Am9" or "G6-F#11b9" Keep doing the rhythm in the intro
until the next chord change.
Capo 2nd fret

U= Upstroke

         A coma might feel better than this,
Cmaj7-Am9                                  G6-F#11b9
        attempting to discover where to begin.
Cmaj7-Am9
You're weighed down, you're full of something.
      G6-F#11b9
Of sickness, and desertion.

(Slide the Em11 down to Cmaj7, listen to the track to get the timing)

Cmaj7-Am9                               G6-F#11b9

         with moments of innocence and mystery.
Cmaj7-Am9
Oh, it's the little things you miss.

For the outro, just strum the chords from the chorus, and sing the "ohh"'s that he 
does. End on Cmaj7. :].
I hope it's not too hard to comprehend, and that it's as correct to everybody else as I see it.
