Ray LaMontange's "Without Words" from the soundtrack "The Fault in our Stars"

1st Tab I've submitted, so forgive me if not 100%, but it's real close.

Standard turning
If you listen the song, you'll get the strumming patterns down.
Instead of just playing D6, it sounds better by placing your thumb over the Low E string third fret
As listed below.

D6/G          D9

D              Dmaj7     D9
Step outside the scene
                          D6/G
They don't know you like I do
                           D       DMaj7
They don't know you like I do


D              Dmaj7     D9
Not all of life is cruel
                          D6/G
Not all of life is so untrue
                             D       DMaj7
Not all of life is so untrue


Em              A
I can hear the morning birds
Em              A
Light up on the branches and each in turn
Em              A
They sing of all God's praises
                   D    Dmaj7     
Yes, without words
D9
Without words

D              Dmaj7     D9
Don't turn it all inside
                          D6/G
I don't like to see you cry
                           D       DMaj7
I don't like to see you cry

Em              A
Whispered kisses in your ears
Em              A
A touch so soft and warm as to fall n' disappear
Em              A
Confessions all of love for you
                   D    Dmaj7   D9
Yes, without words

{Note: STOP, then strum slowly]
D9
Stare into the flame
                                G7
'Till you see beyond the light

All the while truth was mine

It's with myself I fight
D9
Sin you've carried like a corpse 
                            G7
Across your back these days

Let it fall away
                 D       DMaj7   
Let it fall away
D9
Let it fall away

Em              A
I can hear the morning birds
Em              A
So light up on the branches and each in turn

Em              A
They sing of all God's praises
                   D    Dmaj7   
Yes, without words
D9                 D    Dmaj7
Without words
D9                 D
Without words
