The riff starts in D and goes down to C. The first two verses in Verse 1 and Verse 2 only strum the lower strings every 1/8. As explained by Matt in Instagram @mtjoyband [Intro] D C C G [Verse 1]
G              G                            G
 Well, there's only a few pines left by the highway side

             C/G                      C/G
And they all whistle as the wind rips straight through your pride

      Em             G        C/G
Baby, it's only your eyes and mine

         Bm            G        C/G
And this darkness that grows in time
[Pre Chorus]
      Dsus2                 Em       C
I was sleep at home on that airplane running

Dsus2                         Em        C
Never looked back but you can tell it's coming

   Dsus2                 Em     C
My highway queen must be hiding something
[Chorus]
N.C               C        G
And I want you to know I'm behind you

                 Em                  C
We could slow it down, honey, let it find you

                  C             G
And I want you to know nobody's leaving

            Em             C
No, I ain't scared of your demons
N.C. That's just what makes you a real thing [Instrumental] D C C G [Verse 2]
G          G                       G
 Well, the stars pulled up about a quarter to nine

             C/G                       C/G
And you were lying on my car, you were taking your time

      Em             G         C/G
Baby, it's only your hands and mine

        Bm                    G      C/G
In this world, you've come so far to find
[Pre Chorus]
           Dsus2                 Em       C
Oh, 'cause you left home on that airplane running

    Dsus2                         Em        C
You never looked back but you can tell it's coming

   Dsus2                 Em     C
My highway queen must be hiding something
[Chorus]
N.C               C        G
And I want you to know I'm behind you

                 Em                  C
We could slow it down, honey, let it find you

                  C             G
And I want you to know nobody's leaving

            Em             C
No, I ain't scared of your demons

Oh, we're both left home on that airplane running
