This transcription is based on the acoustic version (recorded by Seal)
that's available on his "Best of" album.
The chords are intentionally open and unresolved in a lot of places,
to let it ring and to make it feel a little more mystical.
Specifically, for the verses, you just move your hand
in the E position up and down (2nd fret; 5th fret; 7th fret)
without changing the shape (except that it's an E minor, not E major).
Em 0-2-2-0-0-0
G6/E 0-5-5-4-0-0
Aadd9 0-7-7-6-0-0
Cmaj x-3-2-0-0-0
G6 3-2-0-0-0-0
Dsus2 x-x-0-2-3-0

[Intro]
(jam on Em for 12 bars)
[Verse]
Em G6/E Aadd9
A man decides after seventy years, that what he goes there for, is to unlock the door
Em G6/E Aadd9
While those around him criticize and sleep
Em G6/E Aadd9
And through a fractal on a breaking wall I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Em G6/E Aadd9
Miracles will happen as we trip
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 Asus2
But we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 Asus2 N.C.
No we're never gonna survive, unless we are a little crazy
[Verse]
Em G6/E Aadd9
Yellow people walking through my head, one of them's got a gun to shoot the other one
Em G6/E Aadd9
And yet together they were friends at school
Em G6/E Aadd9
If all were there when we first took the pill, then maybe maybe maybe maybe
Em G6/E Aadd9
Miracles will happen as we speak
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 Asus2
But we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 Asus2
No we're never gonna survive, unless we are a little..... crazy
Em G6/E Aadd9
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 Asus2
Oh no, we'll never survive unless we get a little bit crazy
Cmaj7 G6 Dsus2 Asus2
No, no no we'll never survive unless we get a little bit....
[Outro]
Em G6/E Aadd9
In a sky full of people
Em G6/E Aadd9
In a world full of people
Em G6/E Aadd9
In a heavenful of people
(single strum)
Em G6/E Aadd9
In a sky full of people there's only some want to fly, isn't that crazy
Em
Crazy, crazy.... yeah...

This is a good job. Tip, try in the INTRO this E(no5) 079900 G/E 0.10.12.12.0.0 A/E 0.12.14.14.00 and instead Em use E(no5).

Fabulous and comments at header re Em variations, and below, spot on to get the ambience. Thank you

Love your take on this song. It is now way more interesting and more importantly, much more fun to play than the regular shaped chords. Well done.
