I figure this is the easiest and a very goodsounding
way of playing it acoustically. 
Use a capo. 
Real easy chords and chord changes. 
More energy can then be spent on vocals :)


CAPO 2nd:  

Intro: Am 
       C Am 5x
       C G F

Verse:
Am         C     Am                C  
 Understand she's a force of nature
Am         C      Am           C       Am C
 Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Am         C     Am     C       G
 Exorcising her will to lose control
     F
 She lets go


Verse:
A common man, he don't stand a chance, no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
No way to save someone who won't take the rope
And just let's go


Chorus: 
C                  G
One man stands the edge of the ocean
  Am            F
A beacon on dry land
     C            G
Eyes upon the horizon
       Am   G F    G   Am   (C Am) 4x    
In the dark before the dawn


Verse:
Hurricane has the trade winds blowing
A gale force shaking windows in the storm
Shipwreck on the rock that he calls home
With one light on


Chorus:
C                   G
Somewhere there's a siren singing
  Am           F
A song only he hears
        C                       G
All the strength that you might think
          Am       G F  G    
Would disappear,.. Resolving


C               G
One man stands alone, Awaiting
Am              F
For her to come home
     C            G
Eyes upon the horizon
   Am   G F    G   Am  G    F     C   G         
In dark before the darkness meets the dawn.


Bridge: 
G   Am  2x
         G        
Makes me shake,... Makes me quake,...
          Am    G   F     G   Am  G   F    G  E
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?


Verse:
Last I saw, he was out there waiting
A silhouette in the black light, full moon glow
In the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore


Chorus:
C                   G
Somewhere there's a siren singing
  Am           F
A song only he hears
        C                       G 
All the strength that you might think
          Am     G F  G
Would disappear, resolving


C              G
One man stands along, Awaiting
Am              F
For her to come home
         C                    G
Eyes are closed,.. You cannot know
        Am    G     F    G   C G Am F  
But his heart don't seem to roam.


C G Am F couple of times 
F G Am G   F G Am G   Am
