I'm using a pick but you could try to fingerpick the intro if you wanted to. You can be pretty lax with
strumming as long as you emphasize the bass note each time the chord changes.
Strum/picking pattern for intro is roughly:
Dadd9 2 & 3 & 4 & | Em7 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↑ ↓ ↑ | ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↑ ↓ ↑ |
G/B & G & G/B & G/A & | ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ |

[Verse 1] - play chords from Intro for verses
Dadd9 Em7 Side of the road, I stopped and G/B G G/B G/A Picked up the pieces of your car Dadd9 Em7 You were just standing, speechless G/B G G/B G/A Knowing you'd never travel far
[Chorus] - play full chords here
G A7 D G/B That's what you do when someone's given up on you G A7 D D/C And that's when I knew that I was giving up and giving in G A7 That's when I knew where I was G A7 D That's when I knew that I was home
[Verse 2]
Dadd9 Em7 Stuck in the middle of the road G/B G G/B G/A For better or worse, we compromise Dadd9 Em7 You may have won my hand, dear G/B G G/B G/A But it was the consolation prize
[Chorus]
G A7 D G/B That's when I knew that I was running out on you G A7 D D/C That's what you do when time is running out and running down G A7 That's when I knew where I was G A7 D That's when I knew that I was home
[Bridge]
C#m A Where does the heart reside G# C#m A G# If not where I lay my head? C#m A I could run but I'm petrified G# C#m And choose this instead G# F# A Again and again
[Verse 3]
Dadd9 Em7 End of the road I'm running G/B G G/B G/A And look back to survey where I'd been Dadd9 Em7 Someday I'll write and ask you G/B G G/B G/A If you could imagine what I'd seen
[Chorus]
G A7 D G/B How could you think that I could turn my back on you? G A7 D D/C How did you think this would be turning out? And turning 'round G A7 What could I do but call you? G A7 D What could I do to call this home? G A7 That's when I knew where I was G A7 D That's when I knew that I was home
