Great song. Play the whole thing with downstrokes on the 8th note. Pretty 
but this link to the video could help:

Also, you might try Dsus2 rather than D.

Intro: A  E  F#m  D (play twice)

VERSE ONE:

A       E     F#m   D
Life is beautiful
   A      E      F#m   D
We love until we die
F#          E           F#m     D                 F#m
   When you run into my arms we steal a perfect moment
        E                F#m             D
Let the monsters see you smile, let them see you smilin'
E                 F#m  D
Do I hold you too tightly?
E                  F#m  D
When will the hurt kick in?

CHORUS:
A             E             D                  A
Life is beautiful, but it's complicated and we barely make it
A                     E                D         A   E
We don't need to understand. There are miracles, miracles.

Instrumental: A  E  F#m  D (once)

VERSE TWO:
     A       E     F#m   D
Yeah life is beautiful
    A           E        F#m    D
Our hearts they beat and break
F#m          E            F#m           D               F#m
   When you run away from harm will you run back into my arms?
         E                 F#m               D
Like you did when you were young? Will you come back to me?
E               F#m  D
I will hold you tightly
E                F#m   D
When the hurting kicks in

CHORUS:
A             E             D                  A
Life is beautiful, but it's complicated and we barely make it
A                     E                D         A   E
We don't need to understand. There are miracles, miracles.

Instrumental: E  E  F#m  D (play twice, like last part of verse)

OUTRO:
A               E           D                 A
Stand where you are. We let all these moments pass us by. (pause)

Instrumental: A  E  D  F#m  E

A                      E                   D               A
It's amazing where I'm standing. There's a lot that we can give.
A                           E               D               A
This is ours just for the moment. There's a lot that we can give.

End on A.
