Here's a tabbed version of the song which follows the piano pretty closely. 
It's a beautiful song, and I love the message.
Enjoy!

C 
VERSE
C                             Am                      Em
Someone once told me that you have to choose what you win or lose
    G
You can't have everything
C                                 Am                       Em
Don't you take chances, you might feel the pain, don't you love in vain
      G
Cause love won't set you free

PRE-CHORUS
Dm       C            G    Dm              C            G
 I could stand by the side  and watch this life pass me by
F          Fm
 So unhappy  but safe as could be

CHORUS
              C           Cadd11     Am
So what if it hurts me? So what it I break down?
   Amb6         Fmaj7                        F
So what if this world just throws me off the edge

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
      Amb6       Fmaj7                    F
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
      G                           C Am            Em     G
Cause I'm just trying to be happy  I  just wanna be happy,  yeah

VERSE
C                              Amadd9                 Em

G
Slowly disappear
C                                   Amadd9
 But all these days, they feel like they're the same,
     Em
Just different faces, different names
G
Get me out of here

PRE-CHORUS
Dm       C            G            Dm              C            G

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
      Amb6       Fmaj7                    F
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
      G                        Dm Am C G    Dm    Am C  G
Cause I'm just trying to be happy        Oh, happy,   oh
BRIDGE
           Dm                 Am              C                G  
So when it turns that I can't see, like I'm a stranger on this road
              F             Fm
But don't say victim, don't say anything
