Tuning: Standard
Here are the tabs to the second single off the band's 2004 album, Astronaut. Pretty easy too.
Listen to the album version to get a clear idea how Andy Taylor plays it in real time.
Otherwise, this is easy to strum to on acoustic as well.

For acoustic guitars, this arrangement of the above solo might work good too. Same
for the most part, just lower on the fretboard.

Verse One:
F# C#sus/E B Esus (E)
Child don't you worry
It's enough you're growing up in such a hurry
Brings you down, the news they sell you
To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure
Chorus:
A F Dm2 Em7 (G)
But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
Csus Dsus Fsus
If you let me - I'll protect you - however I can
Am G Dsus2 G
You've got to believe it'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe it'll be alright again
Verse Two:
F# C#sus/E B Esus (E)
Fighting because we're so close
There are times we punish those who we need the most
No we can't wait for a saviour
Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour
Chorus:
A F Dm2 Em7 (G)
And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
Csus Dsus Fsus
It would seem lonely - if you were the only - star in the night
Am G Dsus2 G
You've got to believe it'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe it'll be alright again
(Guitar Solo)
Final Chorus:
A F Dm2 Em7 (G)
And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
So don't let go, now we've come this far
Csus Dsus Fsus
Hold my hand please, understand - we're never alone
Am G Dsus2 G (Am)
We've got to believe it'll be alright in the end (nobody knows)
You've got to believe it'll be alright my friend (nobody knows)
And yes we believe it'll be alright again
