Capo II, with all chords relative.

Chord Shapes, from top string to bottom:
A -------- X02220
Aadd9 ---- X02200
C -------- X32010
G6 ------- 32000X or 320000 (I prefer the former)
Em ------- 022000
D -------- XX0232
F -------- 133211 or X3321X

If you listen to the song, you can pretty much get rhythm.
It's not too complicated. He hammers off of the A's to transition
to the Aadd9's, which are rather brief. Some chord placements may
be a little skewed. Lots of the lyrics are difficult to make out,
so if you can help with that, my e-mail's above.

Intro:

A Aadd9 C G6

Verse 1:
G6        A   Aadd9 C
Like the rain
G6             A    Aadd9 C
Come down the drain 
G6             A     Aadd9 C
Our love in sunlight,
G6           A    Aadd9 C
And evening pain.
G6        A   Aadd9 C
Like the man
G6             A    Aadd9 C
Romances will bring
G6        A    Aadd9 C
Pain and love, we're
G6            A     Aadd9 C
All the same thing.
G6             A
All the same thing
              Aadd9 C                               G6
In my opinion       we are the (Unintelligible) to mock
            A
(The same thing)
               Aadd9
Form the old storybook 
C                G6
Equal and equal dark
            A
(The same thing)
                                    Aadd9
(Unintelligible) going to see, now
C                   G6
Who is in and who is (Unintelligible)
A                    Aadd9
It defi(n)es opinion
        C                 G6
Whether they?re the same thing.

Chorus:
Em                                D
Nothing in common, ("not blood, thicker than broth"?)
F                                 C
We're cut from different sides of the same cloth
Em                   D
I love the sunlight up in the evening*
F                               C
Nothing in common, yet they?re both the same thing
             A   Aadd9 C G6 
(The same thing)

Verse 2: (Identical to the first)

The same street
The same address
The same white hand
The same black dress
The same singers
From my (Unintelligible) cling
Pain and love, we're
All the same things
All the same things
In my opinion a line is never crossed
(The same thing)
Until now my inner feelings were always lost
(The same thing)
Through spirit or season, does the human (Unintelligible)
(The same thing)
Different opinion, they are the same thing

Chorus:
Nothing in common (same as before)
We're cut from different sides of the same cloth
I love the sunlight up in the evening
Nothing in common, yet they?re both the same thing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

(Chorus progression to fade)
