The song consists basically of three chords. 
Here is the standard way of playing them:

Hm: x24432
D:  xx0323
A:  x02220


In acoustic/live versions he uses variations of these for the verses with more elaborate fingerings 
(as can be seen here, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c9Px0worqA).

This is the basic outline of the song:


Verse:
Hm - A - D
Hm - A (last line of each verse)

Chorus:
D - Hm - A

Each chord is played for two bars!
Timing as indicated.

                  Hm

A                         D
  while we wait for everything
       Hm
to get good again?
      A                                    D

            D

      Hm
i'm afraid of

           D
one day it all
           Hm
will fall away
        A

                 D
but still, let's see
   Hm                               A
if nothing else it's an idle curiosity


                       Hm

in your living room, right?
          A                                    D
when we began to fight but then we both got confused
              Hm                                         A
then we were laughing & crying in awe of the size of the moon

                Hm
do you want to die?
A
  fine you're right
                     D

               Hm
to stop feelin so alive
                 A                                              D
what if we could wake up in five years and things'd be feelin alright?
         Hm                                      A
i wanna visit the future and dance in a field of light!

            D
i dont know what
      Hm
i'm afraid of
     A
but i'm afraid
           D
one day it all
           Hm
will fall away
        A
maybe i read that
                 D
but still, let's see
   Hm                               A
