(This is my first tab, but I hope this helps and makes sense).

Note: Greg Laswell plays this song live, half-step tuned down. If you want to play along
the recorded version, have your guitar in standard tuning.

At the fourth stanza, fourth line, beginning at "new song," (Am) the strumming changes
all down strokes until the fifth stanza, last line at "here now" (D). Then go back to
strumming.

Towards the ending, the chords are slightly arbitrary, but you can either listen by ear
improvise based off the chords given.

G                   Gsus2       G
Oh who would have ever known this?
G
Could be this easy
Em7      Cadd9         G    Gsus2
I was a long, long way off
G           Gsus2                  G
Then just like that it was over
Gsus2         Em7
Everything I knew of love
          Cadd9        G    Gsus2
I was a long, long way off

I was a long, long way off

Join me in welcoming the sun in
       Gsus2                 Em7
It's much brighter than the night I hid in
     Cadd9             G     Gsus2
