Please excuse if my notation is non-standard!
s = slide
p = pull-off
-14b(15)- = fret and pick 14th fret and bend to pitch of 15th fret

This is roughly how the acoustic guitar plays during the verses and solos.
(I've omitted writing some of the chords names above the lyrics for space):

During the intro and the first time after every chorus - play something like:

Amaj7Amaj7         G#m7G#m7
 I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end
F#m9F#m9            B13B13
 I might win much more but lose all that is mine
Amaj7Amaj7       G#m7G#m7
 I could be a lot but I know I'm not
F#m9F#m9            B6/7sus4       B7B7
 I'm content just with the riches that you bring

Amaj7Amaj7        G#m7G#m7
 I might shoot to win and commit the sin
F#m9F#m9          B13B13
 Of wanting more than I've already got
Amaj7Amaj7      G#m7G#m7
 I could runaway but I'd rather stay
F#m9F#m9             B6/7sus4
 In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
   B7B7
 The one that makes me say, hey

F#F#                     D#m7D#m7  D#m9D#m9 D#m7D#m7

 I might be a king and steal my peoples things
F#m9F#m9           B13B13
 But I don't go for that power crazy way
Amaj7Amaj7         G#m7G#m7
 All that I could rule but I don't check for fools
F#m9F#m9            B6/7sus4

Amaj7Amaj7        G#m7G#m7
 I could chase around for nothing to be found

Amaj7Amaj7             G#m7G#m7
 I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style
