this is the riff after many lines during the verses, I'm referring to it as X:
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|----------------------|
D|--0-0--2-2/4-2-0---0h2|
A|-----------------3----|
E|----------------------|
also, when switching chords often hit the bottom string at 0 and then hold to correct 
such as:
   Cadd9  G
e|--3-----3-----|

G|--0-----0-----|
D|--2-----0-----|

verse 1:
Cadd9               G
I never had all the answers
Em                 D      (X)
I never had enough time
Cadd9              G

Why you weren't what I wanted to find

verse 2:
Cadd9                G

Em                 D      (X)
You just wanted to play
Cadd9                    G
The king he waited on my doorsteps
          Em                  D       (X)
While the joker in me went on our way

chorus:
Cadd9       D
Maybe I was much too selfish

       Cadd9      D
Now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing I was with you tonight

Things are sweeter in Tennessee

Cadd9                      G
These days everything is all business

I'm never in one place for too long
Cadd9                     G
There's no lack of arms around me

Am                               Em

For that man in our life

If I did not think that, oh

the ending is just Cadd9 and G, sometimes sliding the high strings like a D chord 
from 5th to 7th fret (e string)
