Chords                                           riff

E |-------------3---3---1----------------0---------------|



Notes:

The Dm chord in the intro/chorus is only strummed for one beat, then immedately 
you play the Dsus4 chord.

The G in the intro/chorus is stummed for two beats, then G7 for one, then you 
play riff directly into the Dm and the Dsus4.


All that together is the intro/chorus.
Looks like this:

     Dm  Dsus4       G   G   G7  riff 
e |--1---3---3---3---3---3---1---1-0---|
B |--3---2---2---2---0---0---0-------3-|
G |--2---2---2---2---0---0---0---------|
D |--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---------|
A |--0---0---0---0---2---2---2---------|
E |------------------3---3---3---------|


The riff is followed immediately by a Dm.  You don't have to play the riff 
at all if you don't want, you can just strum another G7 chord, but it will 
sound more like David's piano if you at least play the riff a few times.  

Plus your index finger is already on the F if from fretting the G7, and if 
you fret the D with your ring finger, the riff sets your fingers up for the Dm.


I tried to space the position of the chords to go with the lyrics.  Play along
with the song, you should be able to hear the changes.

Intro/chorus x2

Dm Dsus4                     G    G7    riff   Dm Dsus4 
      Meet me on the other side

                     G    G7    riff   Dm Dsus4 
Meet me on the other side
                          G    G7    riff   Dm Dsus4 
I'll see you on the other side
                     G    G7    riff  F  
See you on the other side


F                  C
Honey now if I'm honest
                        Dm
I still don't know what love is
               G                           A
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
                              Dm
And now the floodgates cannot hold
       C             Bb 
All my sorrow all my rage
            F              G         Dm Dsus4
A teardrop falls on every page


                     G    G7    riff   Dm Dsus4 
Meet me on the other side
                     G    G7    riff   F
Meet me on the other side


F              C
Maybe I oughta mention
                Dm
It was never my intention
                    G
To harm you or your kin
                             A
Are you so scared to look within
                               Dm
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
       C               Bb
We may race and we may run
          F                  G
We'll not undo what has been done
E                               Dm Dsus4
Or change the moment when it's gone

F                  C
I know it would be outrageous
                   Dm
To come on all courageous
                 G
And offer you my hand
                         A 
To pull you up on to dry land
                          Dm
When all I got is sinking sand
                C                 Bb
The trick ain't worth the time it buys
            F              G 
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
E                           Dm Dsus4
And love's a raven when it flies


                     G    G7    riff   Dm Dsus4 
Meet me on the other side
                     G    G7    riff   Dm Dsus4

I'll see you on the other side
                          G    G7    riff  F
I'll see you on the other side


F                C
Honey now if I'm honest
  A                     Dm
I still don't know what love is
