This is the version he plays on his YT livestream. I hope you enjoy jamming to Robbie :) Edit: if you really want to play the "original way" instead of playing D7, play a D#.

Strumming
EditIs this strumming pattern correct?

NOT IN INTRO
C
e|---------
B|---------
G|---------
D|-2-------
A|----5--3-
E|---------(strum C)
keep the picking patterns between most of the chord changes - ones with "*" do not have them.
for the D7 chord, pluck the 3rd string (D string) before the chord is played.
~~you want to land on the chord when it appears, so start the picking pattern before then. also if it is
a quicker change, one strum will do the trick!~~

[Verse 1]
G Em
Pretty lights roll over the river
G Em C
My, oh my, the sky's so much bigger than we thought
G* Em C*
And I wanna see it all
G* Em G*
Cool summer nights were nice for a while
G Em C
Right now, I'm missing my warm bath towel
G* Em C*
It's nice going out with you
G* Em C*
But isn't it lovely coming home to
[Chorus]
G* Em
Take me home, I want my bed, I want my mom
G Em
We've had so much fun, but I want to go home
C D7 G* Em
We will sit on the windowsill and look up at the sky
C D7 G* Em
And the clouds will spell messages addressed to you and I
C D7 G* Em
We will water the plants for the first time in a while
C D7 G*
And I'll say with a sigh, "I am home"

I think it would be helpful to add in the intro (though I know it's a bit long), but overall, you covered the lyrics portion well.
