The way he plays it all chords are picked.
The F is also closer to the style played on only the higher strings.
Playing the full bar and leaving off the low E sounds about right though.
Please comment any corrections needed.

intro
C G C G

                   C
There's a real lady
                    G
in a plastic town
                                F
the kind you see in day dreams
                               C            G
but never come around

                               C
Eyes are blue and broad
                          G
like an ocean sunset
                                      F
seen somethings they shouldn't
                         C
probably rather forget
        E
but since we met
        Am          F
we'll I've known no blues

                    C
so if you're weary
        E                   Am                    F
well I could carry your bags for youuu

            C                                       E
I'll be carrying your precious things
Am                        F
if you want them back
              G
well just ask

                      C
hair black as coal
                        G
skin so winter white
                                F
her heart is made of gold
                           C          G
sparkles in the sunlight

                 C
a red rose ring
                                    G
is wrapped around her finger
                                     F
her parents named her after
                              C
a famous country singer

             E
well I bring her
Am              F
flowers at night
                 C                    E
we'll undress in the darkness
         Am                   F
and lay side by side
C                               E
I kiss her and I whisper
Am                             F
well mama I don't mind
                         G
if we take our time


                             C
see a heart like yours
                                  G
it needs a sleeveless shirt
                             F
to keep it in the open
                                  C          G
it's always getting broken

                           C
in it's stiched up bag
                                  G
but it burns bright and true
                                       F
that's why I'm always warmer
                           C
standing next to you

                 E            Am            F
if I could lose this fear and doubt

        C                              E           Am                          F
your pretty eyes are something I would not be without

                              C
and this give and take
                           E
you cry and shake
Am               F                 G
and I'm walking out

Brief Solo based around alternating C and G chord shapes,

F                                       C
     I've been long time Lonely
                             G
and every setting sun
                         F
I never met nobody
                              C              G
I couldn't walk away from mhm
                                C
if you're leaning on me
                             G
I'll only turn and run
                                        F
to shoot ya from the darkness
                            C
but the saddest part is
        E
my heart is
Am              F
a letter not sent

C                           E
it sits on the dresser
           Am           F
and remains unopened
    C                                     E
I choose to hide the words inside

        Am          F
but darlin it's juuust
F                   G            Am
better for the both of us
F                               G                    end on C
and my hearts collecting dust
