[Intro]
D A7sus4  Cadd9 (hammer on D-string 2nd fret)  (Lick 1) D  A7sus4 Cadd9
 
[Verse 1]
D          A7sus4       Cadd9               (Lick 1)
You come for me in the worst of places
D          A7sus4              Cadd9
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
D             A7sus4                    Cadd9     (Lick 1)
I'm always in need, and it's hard to be reciprocating
D                A7sus4         D   D7
The fabric of our life gets torn
 
[Chorus]
    C            G              F         Am
And everything's changing, so how am I to know
        C              G                  F               Am
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
C          G                  F            Am
You and I together, but only one of us in love
         D7   (Lick 2)   Am  D7 (Lick 2)  Am
And everybody knows
 
[Verse 2]
D         A7sus4                Cadd9         (Lick 1)
He says a name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
D          A7sus4              Cadd9
He says a name, he says it and I know what's up
D          A7sus4                 Cadd9                           (Lick 1)
You come to me sometimes when I'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a cannon
D            A7sus4                D        D7
And I forget whatever it was I was thinking about
 
[Chorus]
    C            G              F         Am
And everything's changing, so how am I to know
        C              G                  F               Am
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
C          G                  F            Am
You and I together, but only one of us in love
         D7   (Lick 2) Am  D7 (Lick 2) Am
And everybody knows
          D7 (Lick 2)  Am  D7 (Lick 2)  Am
Everybody knows

Here is a slight correction to Lick 2: e--2--2-3-5-3--2---0-------| b--1-------------3---------| g--2-----------------------| d--------------------------| a--------------------------| E--------------------------| Other than that it sounds good

Second verse lyrics - isn't it "He says her name..."

Love this song. Here’s a great acoustic version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vggjs2R92DU To me it looks like the intro is Dsus2 (x00230 with a hammer up on the 2nd fret of the first string), then x02032 (with a pull off from the 2nd fret of the first string), then C9 (x3203x with a hammer up on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string and then on the 2nd fret of the 4th string), then the riff (2nd fret 6th string, hammer up to the 3rd fret 6th string, then hammer on the 5th string from open to the 2nd fret and then pull off again). The for the chorus, it looks like C (x32013), G 3x0003, Fsus2 (x33010), Am7 (x02010). Just one guy’s opinion.
