This is from the Nothing is Sound songbook. Between pre-choruses and choruses it 
looks wrong but in fact, that's what the book says. It's an amazing song! Enjoy!

Drop D Tuning (DADGBE)

Verse 1

D5                                Gsus2             D5
Maybe I've been the problem, maybe I'm the one to blame.
Csus2                            Gsus2
But even when I turn it off and blame myself,
      A7Sus4           A7
The outcome feels the same.
                          D5
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
      Gsus2              D5
Maybe I'm the chance of rain.
              Csus2
And maybe I'm overcast,
    Gsus2        A7Sus4                  A7
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain.
                           Gsus2
I've been thinking 'bout ev'ryone

Pre-Chorus

Asus2                Bsus2      Csus2
Ev'ryone. You look so lonely
                         D5
But when I look at the stars,

Chorus

                    Gsus2
When I look at the stars,
                    Csus2
When I look at the stars,
                D5 E5 D5 F#5
I see someone else.
G5                  Gsus2
When I look at the stars,
     Esus2    A7Sus4/D
The stars,  

I feel like myself.


Verse 2

D5                                   Gsus2       D5
Stars looking at a planet, watching entropy and pain,
                    Csus2         Gsus2        A7Sus4
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives 
               A7
Could pass as sane.
                               D5
I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance,
     Gsus2          D5
Of a hope beyond my own,
                 Csus2        Gsus2     A7Sus4             A7
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home.
                          Gsus2
I've been thinking 'bout ev'ryone

Pre-Chorus
Asus2              Bsus2
Ev'ryone. You look so empty

Back to Chorus
Csus2
I feel like myself. Yeah! 

Bridge (Half-time feel)
Gsus2  F#5 A5 D5 E5 D5 F#5 G5
Stars.

Pre-Chorus (Half-time feel)
Gsus2
Ev'ryone,
Asus2             F#m       G
Ev'ryone, we feel so lonely.
Gsus2           Asus2           Bsus2   Csus2
Ev'ryone, yeah, ev'ryone we feel so empty.

When I look at the stars,

Outro-Chorus

When I look at the stars, 
                         C5 G
When I look at the stars,
                    D5 E5 D5 F#5
I feel like myself. 
G5                  Gsus2
When I look at the stars,
     E5    A7Sus4
The stars, 

I see someone.
