Credit to the existing tab by erwinc0215 to which I have appended the opening riff.
 
The acoustic/lullaby version of this is same chord shapes but played fingerstyle.
I use two fingers (index and middle) to barre the chords for cleaner sound and less fatigue.

(This riff is also played over the verses but on the D chord you play a D note (fret 5) on the A string, which
is tricky so I skip the 0h1h2 bit on the D chord.)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Oh, it could be exciting
             C                            D
Excuse for a change if we don't work the way
        Am
We were
 
Oh, but nothing seems inviting
                         C                  D
Except the image of your open arms calling back
     Am
To me
 
[Chorus]
             F   G
I take you back
        Am                                    G                     F        G
Yeah, I know it seems surprising when there's lipstick still on the glass
         Am                        G                   F         G
And the full moon rising, but it's me who makes myself mad, mm
       Am
I take you
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Oh, my body does deceive me
             C
Just as did yours
                                D
Though we're fighting different wars
         Am
In our ways
 
Oh, but there's no pleasure in resisting
                C        D        Am
So go ahead and kiss me
 
[Chorus]
             F   G
I take you back
        Am                                    G                    F        G
Yeah, I know it seems surprising when there's lipstick still on the glass
         Am                        G                   F         G
And the full moon rising, but it's me who makes myself mad, mm
        Am
I take you
 
[Bridge]
F          G
Once more, once more
Am        C
Once more
F          G
Once more, once more
Am        C
Once more
F         Em
Once more
          Am
You know nothing would've needed deciding
     G                  F    Em
Had you just simply asked
         Am                   G
But the full moon rising, and it's me
 
[Chorus]
             F   G
I take you back
        Am                                    G                     F        G
Yeah, I know it seems surprising when there's lipstick still on the glass
         Am                        G                   F         G
And the full moon rising, but it's me who makes myself mad, mm
          Am
I take you

Is the Am barr supposed to be 577000 or should it be 577555? I dont hear a big difference but trying to play the open strings while also barring the 5s is killing my hand haha.

Thanks a lot. It sounds like on the record he plays the verse using only A and D strings? ie. x00xxx x01xxx x02xxx x05xxx x04xxxx then the C chord is same riff but with a C bass note: x30xxx and the D chord has F# or D bass note: 2x0xxx or x50xxx. You can then strum the chorus chords which gives it emphasis and works well. Shame I cant do the singing as its too difficult for me.
