Here is another way to play this song; it's perhaps a little easier.

[Verse]
C Am
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
Cmaj9/G F
But it's the only thing that I know
C Am
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
Cmaj9/G F
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
We keep this love in a photograph
C Cmaj9/G
We made these memories for ourselves
Am
Where our eyes are never closing
F
Hearts are never broken
C Cmaj9/G
And time's forever frozen still
[Chorus]
C
So you can keep me
Cmaj9/G
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Am
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
F
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

[Verse]
C Am
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
Cmaj9/G F
And it's the only thing that I know, know
C
I swear it will get easier,
Am
Remember that with every piece of you
Cmaj9/G F
Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
We keep this love in a photograph
C Cmaj9/G
We made these memories for ourselves
Am
Where our eyes are never closing
F
Hearts are never broken
C Cmaj9/G
And time's forever frozen still
[Chorus]
C
So you can keep me
Cmaj9/G
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Am
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
F
You won't ever be alone
[Bridge]
C
And if you hurt me
Cmaj9/G
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Am
Inside these pages you just hold me
F
And I won't ever let you go
Am
Wait for me to come home
F
Wait for me to come home
C
Wait for me to come home
Cmaj9/G
Wait for me to come home
C
You can fit me
Cmaj9/G
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Am
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
F
Keep it deep within your soul
C
And if you hurt me
Cmaj9/G
Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed
Am
Inside these pages you just hold me
F
And I won't ever let you go
[Outro]
C Cmaj9/G
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Am
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
F
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
C
"Wait for me to come home."

Well done, except it's absurd to call that chord Cmaj9/G. It's just a G chord.
If you play a plain C there, it is clearly wrong. But if you just play G, it sounds great.
If you absolutely MUST give the chord a name that every EVERY note that is played during that moment (which you don't, non-chord tones are a thing) then it's G with an added 11 and 13, which you can write as G(11/13).
But that's not necessary. It's a V chord. It's G. Calling it any type of C chord is incorrect.

Put a capo on Fret 4. It'll sound like the real version

It's a very good tab
