Play Riff 2 during the verses

I play the bass note in the FF with my thumb and for the F/G, I use my ring finger to play the figure.

Intro:
FF (Riff 1)

Verse 1:
FF      F/GF/G     FF    F/GF/G
Perhaps I'm bound to be restless
    FF    F/GF/G     FF  F/GF/G
Always yearning never satisfied
  FF    F/GF/G    Bb majorBb  FF F/GF/G
Perhaps I'm aching for nothing
   FF     F/GF/G   FF   F/GF/G FF F/GF/G
That words can ever define


Verse 2:
   FF  F/GF/G     FF   F/GF/G
Was I happy  in those moments
       FF   F/GF/G       FF  F/GF/G
Where have I made it  to seem that way
   FF  F/GF/G  Bb majorBb FF
Was I back there tomorrow
       FF   F/GF/G   FF  F/GF/G
Could feel as lacking  as today


Chorus:
  Bb majorBb         C majorC
But you in your golden hour
  Bb majorBb          C majorC
And you in your sweetest song
  Bb majorBb          FF
And you with your tender offerings
      C majorC  Bb majorBb    FF
How could I ever do you wrong?

FF (Riff 1)

Verse 3:
     FF         F/GF/G   FF F/GF/G
Blessed unrest that keeps me marchin'
       FF       F/GF/G   FF F/GF/G
This foolish hope it can be found
     FF      Bb majorBb  FF F/GF/G
Something so true and lasting
     FF       F/GF/G  FF F/GF/G
Could it land me on the ground

    FF       F/GF/G  FF  F/GF/G
Still I like my world boundless
     FF      F/GF/G FF F/GF/G
It never ceases to entice
     FF      Bb majorBb FF F/GF/G
It's the hunger in my bones
     FF       F/GF/G FF F/GF/G
It's the new day in my eyes


Chorus:
  Bb majorBb          C majorC
And you in your darkened hour
  Bb majorBb       C majorC
And me in my broken song
     Bb majorBb          FF
Here you come with your tender offerings
      C majorC  Bb majorBb    FF
How could I ever do you wrong?


Interlude:
FF (Riff 1)

Chorus:
  Bb majorBb        C majorC
And me in my doubting hour
  Bb majorBb          C majorC
And you in your soothing song
  Bb majorBb         C majorC
And you in your calming mercy
  Bb majorBb          C majorC
And you when you can't be strong
     Bb majorBb          FF
Here you come with your tender offerings
      C majorC  Bb majorBb    FF
How could I ever do you wrong?
      C majorC  Bb majorBb    FF
How could I ever do you wrong?
      C majorC  Bb majorBb    FF
Oh could I ever do you wrong?
