Update 4-25-2016:
Note that the D/A Chord in this song is played with the High E and G strings open, not muted.
Also note that Light's uses a lot of hammer-ons during the chords throughout the song.
You can watch the video linked above to learn the timing for them, but the song plays fine without them.
Update 1-21-25:
For the slide up riff, you're going to transition straight out of the D/A chord. Luckily, your finger on the D
string, 4th fret, is already in the correct position!
Capo on the 1st
[Intro]
Em G D/A Slide-Up Riff x2
[Verse 1]
Em G D/A If you are a cliffhanger ending D/A Em I'm the one that doesn't know anything G D/A Like a magpie and a ring, D/A C/G Em (Hold) I'm always going to be looking right to you

D/A C/G Oh, you capture my attention G Carefully listening, G Don't wanna miss a thing, D/A Keeping my eyes on you Em C/G D/A Slide-Up Riff Got me on my toes
[Verse 2]
Em G D/A If I were to hide out on the sea, D/A Em You'd be whispering from the westerlies G D/A In any book I'll ever read, D/A You'd be the line that sticks out to me, C/G Em Out to me
[Chorus 2]
D/A C/G Oh, you capture my attention G Carefully listening, G Don't wanna miss a thing, D/A Keeping my eyes on you D/A C/G Oh, you capture my attention G I'm anticipating, G I'm watching, I'm waiting D/A For you to make your move
