Very easy to play. Make it interesting with chord variants (and different Hand damping the last stroke in the verses, and just using the (x000xx)-strings in the prechorus.
---Intro:
Am F C G * 2
---Verse 1 (melody variant 1):

Am                F                   C                       G
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go

             Am               F     C        G
at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal

Am              F                      C                      G
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules

            Am                F        C           G
for every coin that I could steal

---Verse 2 (melody variant 2):

     Am    F      C     G        Am F C               G
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn

     Am   F        C      G      Am F          C          G
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

---Prechorus:

Am            F      C     G
So when I'm crying alone

Am               F        C  G
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

---Chorus:

Am          F       C   G
Grow me a garden of roses

Am             F        C    G
Paint me the colors of sky and rain

Am            F              C   G
Teach me to speak with their voices

Am           F            C   G
Show me the way and I'll try again
---Instrumental (as intro)
---Verse 3 (melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I 
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you 
away the seed

---Verse 4 (melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
---Prechorus ---Chorus
---Middle eight:

G   Am            G          F
Without you I'm nothing at all

G    Am            G        F       G
And life has the face of a morbid game

     Am                G     F
With you nothing is impossible

   G            Am       F    Am 
It all seems to fit the frame
---Prechorus ---Chorus * 3 with fade on the last one Tabbed by Alexander Strukelj
