Chords

I think sounds more like the guitar in the official video: Playing this song with the Dsus2 (2200) and Eadd11 (4440) sounds great and makes the transitions very easy. I use my middle, ring, and pinky to play the G, C, and E strings, respectively, but I leave my index finger rooted on the C string as I slide back and forth adding and removing fingers for the other chords. For example, I transition from the A to the Dsus2 by simply adding my ring finger on fret 2 of the C string, then I slide up to the 4th fret and add my pinky on the E string for the Eadd11 and lift my ring finger off of the C string as I slide back down for the F#m.

A
 Stop the clocks, it's amazing

Dsus2
 You should see the way the light dances off your hair

Eadd11                F#m               Dsus2
 A million colours of hazel, golden and red

A
 Saturday morning is fading

Dsus2
 The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand

Eadd11                        F#m           Dsus2
  My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again
[Pre-Chorus]
         Dsus2
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle

           A                    Eadd11
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow

     Dsus2                                     A   Eadd11
So alone in love like the world had disappeared

       Dsus2
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go

       A                        Eadd11
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow

          Dsus2                                     A    Eadd11
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
[Chorus]
           Dsus2                   A   Eadd11
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

           Dsus2                   A
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
[Verse 2]
A
 The weather outside's changing

Dsus2
 The leaves are buried under six inches of white

Eadd11          F#m            Dsus2
 The radio is playing, Iron & Wine

A
 This is a new dimension

Dsus2
 This is a level where we're losing track of time

Eadd11                 F#m                      Dsus2
 I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I
[Pre-Chorus]
         Dsus2
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle

           A                     Eadd11
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow

   Dsus2                                   A    Eadd11
So alone in love like the world had disappeared

      Dsus2
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go

       A                        Eadd11
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow

          Dsus2                                     A     Eadd11
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
[Chorus]
           Dsus2                   A   Eadd11
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

           Dsus2                   A   Eadd11
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

           Dsus2   N.C.
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
