We have an official Chasing Cars tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
It may be easier to play the main riff using the open D string but that note is
actually played at the 5th fret on the A string, see any live footage or here:

Intro is spot on!! rest of song i feel can be played well using the intro chords but strumming them, this sounds great acoustic. Also a capo can be used and the chorus played by strumming A E D A repeated. Good tab, it was very helpful cheers m8!!!
