Note: If you want to play it the way Brent does acousticly, you need to play the 
prechorus like this:
 
   F#5(hold)      F#5 (x 9 11 11 x x)
So can we stop pretending
         D5 (hold)      D5
That the world is never ending?
         F#5 (hold)    F#5(x91111xx) E5
Will you try to find a way to believe?


You can also play the chorus as D (xx232) A (x02220) E (x22100) B5 (x244xx) if you 
prefer. Either one works. (I think Brent mostly plays it that way. I just prefer this way)


A-577655
C#5-x466xx
D5-x577xx
A5-577xxx
A/G#5-477xxx
F#5-244xxx
E5-x799xx
B5-799xxx or x244xx
G5-x 10 12 12 x x or 355xxx or 3x0033 (depends on how you play the chorus)
