[Verse 1]
C                         F        C
I've been waiting for the tides to change
        F        C            G
For the waves to send you my way
C                         F   C
I see you darling but you pixilate
        F       C           G
It gets hard to take these days
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         C              F   C           F
But we’ll hold the line, I won't let go
       C                  G                            C
'Cause I’ll be there when you can finally make it home
                 F
And I don't mind
       C            F
'Cause we both know
     C                   G                           G
That we'll be fine when you can finally make it home
 
[Chorus]
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down
 
[Verse 2]
C                F      C
I remember happy wastеd days
        F      C            G
Summers golden haze in our еyes
C                     F        C
Lifting you above the breaking waves
         F        C           G
Memories floating back to my mind
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        C              F   C           F
You said hold the line, I won't let go
      C                  G                            C
Cause I’ll be there when you can finally make it home
                 F
And I don't mind
       C            F
'Cause we both know
     C                   G                           G
That we'll be fine when you can finally make it home
 
[Chorus]
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down
               Am                     F                    C   G
It's like when you're far away from me I get lost in the crowd
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I’m in a room with you that missing piece is found
 
[Bridge]
F                     C             G
I won't waste a minute when you're here
          G                    F
And we're finally in the clear
              C             G
When every day is like the last
               G
I just keeping holding fast
 
[Chorus]
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I'm in a room with you that missing piece is found
              Am                         F
You know when you're by my side, darling
                      C   G
Nothing can bring us down
               Am                     F                    C   G
It's like when you're far away from me I get lost in the crowd
             Am                    F                       C    G
Because when I’m in a room with you that missing piece is found

Verse chords are wrong, its not Am there and your missing chords. Chorus is good though!

Great tab with the adjustments. For the notes you could add his picking/finger raisings for the C and F chords.
