If you want to play the descending basenotes in the chorus,
(which are a lot easier on the piano), it's something like this:
with emphasis on the D MajorD string, then A augmentedA string the next 3 notes,
on the words "wake" "every" "day" and "hoping."
If you play with the capo on 7th, emphasize the same words,
but the E MajorE string the first 3 notes, then the D MajorD string the last.

So the story goes on down
A augmentedA D MajorD
The less-traveled road
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
It?s a variation on the one I was told
G+G A augmentedA
And although it?s not the same
E minorEm G+G (A augmentedA)
It?s awful close, yeah
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
In an ordinary fairytale land
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
There?s a promise of a perfect happy end
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
And I imagine having just short of that
A augmentedA
Is better than nothing
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
So you?ll be mine forever and almost always
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
And I?ll be fine; just love me when you can, yeah
G+G A augmentedA
And I?ll wait patiently
D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm A augmentedA
I?ll wake up every day just hoping that
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA x2
You still care
D MajorD G+G
In the corner of my mind
A augmentedA
I know too well
D MajorD
Oh, that surely even
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
I deserve the best
But instead of leaving
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
I just put the issue to bed
G+G A augmentedA
And out of my head
D MajorD G+G
And just when I believe
A augmentedA
You?ve changed for good
D MajorD G+G
Well, you go and prove me wrong
A augmentedA
Just like I knew you would
B minorBm G+G
When I run out of second chances
A augmentedA E minorEm
You give me that look
A augmentedA
And you?re off the hook
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
Because you?re mine forever and almost always
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
Oh and I?m fine, just love me when you can, yeah
G+G A augmentedA
And I?ll wait patiently
D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm A augmentedA
I?ll wake up every day just hoping that
G+G
You still care
A augmentedA B minorBm
Oh, oh
E minorEm
What am I still doing here?
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
Oh, oh
C majorC D MajorD A augmentedA
It?s all becoming so clear
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
You?ll be mine forever and almost always
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
It ain?t right to just love me when you can, oh
G+G A augmentedA
I won?t wait patiently
D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm A augmentedA
Or wake up every day just hoping that
D MajorD
You?ll still care
A augmentedA B minorBm
Forever and almost always
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
No, it ain?t right to just love me when you can, baby
G+G A augmentedA
Ain?t gonna wait patiently
D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm A augmentedA
I won't wake up every day just hoping that
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA x4 D MajorD
You still care
