Chords                                           riff

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---3---3---3---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

                     G    G7    riff  F
See you on the other side

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

            Am              G         Dm Dsus4
A teardrop falls on every page

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

          Am                  G
We'll not undo what has been done

E              G                 Dm Dsus4
Or change the moment when it's gone

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

             Am              G
I'm sick of hearing my own lies

E             G              Dm Dsus4
