This song is surprisingly simple, especially if you are already familiar with 
Travis picking (Google it if you want to learn).  I based this off of what I hear 
in both the recorded and acoustic versions.

Tips:
1.  Keep your index finger on xxxx1x for the whole song.  I believe that's how 
it's played the whole way through.
2.  It's essentially a bass walk-down.  If you keep that in mind, it becomes a lot 
easier to transition since the focus is on the bass note.
3.  If you want to play like the acoustic versions, learn how to use the Travis 
picking form from Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" 

Below are the chord forms:

     You wear white and I'll wear out the words 

      Am7     Gsus4        Fsus2       
"I love you" and "you're beautiful"

Pre-Chorus 2:

Am7/E                  Fsus2
     Now that the wait is over
