Now the strumming starts, listen to the song for it
CHORDS:
D   [000000]
A   [7x0700]
G   [5x0500]
Bm  [9x0800]
D/F#[4x0300]
A2  [2x0100] (I don't know the name of this chord, so I'll call it A2]

Verse 1:

D                         G        D
  Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
                          G       A         Bm
  Take what you like but close my years and eyes
  G         D     A2 D/F#   A2 D
  Watch me stumble o-ver and o-ver
D                        G          D
  I have done wrong, you build your tower
                       G      A       Bm
  But call me home and I will build a throne
      G       D       A2 D/F# A2 D
  And wash my eyes out never   a-gain


Chorus 1:

D                      G
  But love the one you hold
                   A
  And I'll be your goal
                 Bm
  To have and to hold
                D
  A lover of the light

Verse 2 (From "With skin too tight..." to "breathe in and breathe out") is the same of 
the 1st.

Chorus 2 is always the same

Bridge is like the intro, but there's a new line between "Of the shadows thrown" and 
"But I'd be yours if you'd be mine":

               G             Bm          Bm    A     G
  You may not trust the promises of the change I'll shown


Banjo Solo:  D Bm D G A Bm D G A Bm D

Chorus 3/Chorus 4: like the others
