This is how I play the song. I like to play the CM9/B chord before Am (which is in the chord list).
Also I couldn't get the chords in chorus quite right for the "fills".
If you make up better chords please do tell and I'll correct them.

[Verse 1]
C
   Summer ride on the beach
Am   G         F
Howl at the day
          Dm     C        G
I've been hiding out so long
        Am    G        F
I gotta find another way
 
C
   Late at night I wanna see you
        Am           G        F
Well my eyes, they begin to fade
          Dm            C        G
Am I just living in the space between
    Am     G          F
The beauty and the pain
        C    G
And the real thing
 
[Verse 2]
C
   Now the sky is painted
     Am   G      F
In a wash of indigo
          Dm      C        G
I've been holding on too long
       Am      G          F
In the howling of this cold
 
C
I recognize every face
                Am   G      F
But I ain't got everything I need
            Dm            C        G
If I'm just living in the space between
    Am     G          F
The beauty and the pain
         C         G
It's the strangest thing
 
Cadd9   G

[Bridge]
                           F
Yeah, she runs surrounding me
   Am      C      G
Surrounded by the whole
   Am      G     F
Surrounded by no other
        C   G
I wanna run home
 
Cadd9   G

Don't run away again
F
Yeah, I can run in the storm
          C    G
Don't you run again

I wanna run, I wanna run
