Capo 2 to play these chords with the official audio.
 
The A chords in the verse are quick passing chords between the E and the Dsus2. I like to hammer on to
fret 2 of the C string for the A to Dsus2 transition.
 
In the first 3 lines of the outro he strums each chord once.
 
For the "waves won't break my boat" lines, it sounds like the tab below is a good match for the guitar:

[Verse 1]
F#m               Esus4  A Dsus2                   Dsus2
  Came in for the embers,       stayed out for the breeze
          F#m                 Esus4  A Dsus2
I need to feel elements to remind me        there's beauty when it's bleak
F#m          Esus4              A   Dsus2         Dsus2
  Stuck out long before lights down,     why do I breathe?
 
[Chorus]
     Dsus2
Oh I know,
    Dsus2       A        Esus4       Dsus2
The more that I love the less that I feel
    Dsus2        A       Esus4     Dsus2
The times that I jumped never were real
     Dsus2        A          Esus4      Dsus2
They say that all scars will heal but I know
F#m  Esus4   Dsus2
    Maybe I won't
        A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
But the waves won't break my     boat
        A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
But the waves won't break my     boat
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m                        Esus4    A Dsus2                          Dsus2
  The stones crash on the boardwalk        the wind rush through the trees
               F#m
I keep my eyes peeled
                    Esus4      A Dsus2                      Dsus2
The memories always fall short        of what we could have been
F#m         Esus4            A   Dsus2          Dsus2
  Left out long before last call,     what do I need?
 
 
[Chorus]
     Dsus2
Oh I know,
    Dsus2       A        Esus4       Dsus2
The more that I love the less that I feel
    Dsus2        A       Esus4     Dsus2
The times that I jumped never were real
     Dsus2        A          Esus4      Dsus2
They say that all scars will heal but I know
F#m  Esus4   Dsus2
    Maybe I won't
        A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
But the waves won't break my     boat
        A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
But the waves won't break my     boat
 
 
[Bridge]
        A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
But the waves won't break my     boat
    A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
The waves won't break my     boat
 
 
[Outro]
Dsus2             A        Esus4       Dsus2
  The more that I love the less that I feel
                 A       Esus4     Dsus2
The times that I jumped never were real
                  A          Esus4      Dsus2
They say that all scars will heal but I know
F#m  Esus4   Dsus2
    Maybe I wont
        A     Aadd9 A*    Eadd11 Dsus2
But the waves won't break my     boat
