As far as the picking pattern goes, I think it's actually pretty simple - the
only thing alternating is the base note.. He also never plays the 1st string save
for the Dsus2 and Dsus4. This is an example for Em:
E|------------------------------------------|
B|--------------0------------------------0--|
G|--------0-----------0---------0-----------|
D|-----2-----------2---------2--------2-----|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|--0--------0------------0--------0--------|
For G you play the 3rd fret on the 6th string as the first note, for Cadd9 the 3rd fret on the 5th string, etc
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
G Em
Well, don't lie to me, don't lie to yourself
Cadd9 D/F#
We were much too sentimental, baby, to make it in the modern world
Em Cadd9 Em Cadd9
And I spent my nights alone, and I rode the wheels off
G D/F#
I simply ain't the first thief, honey, holed up on a cross
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
And I don't believe that anybody here should cry for me
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 G D/F#
'Cause they'lllllll never knoooow what it cooooooost you to be whooole
G B5 Em Cadd9
But to me you're a dream, a divine mystery
G Dsus2
And I'm lonely
Em7 Cadd9
Lonely for you only
G Dsus2
I'm lonely
Em Cadd9
Lonely for you only
Em
[Verse 2 - play 0-2-3 on the 6th string to transition into the Verse]
G Em
So come talk to me, I can't see inside your head
Cadd9 D/F#
There's a bitter beast that comes to feed on the things we never said
Em7 Cadd9 Em Cadd9
Tell me all the vicious things that no one knows but God
G D/F#
You simply ain't the worst that I've seen stumbling through the dark
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9
And I'll take it to my grave no matter what they do to me
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 G D/F#
'Cause they'lllllll never knoooow what it cooooooost you to be whooole

[Bridge]
Em Dsus2 Em7 Cadd9
And maybe someday we'll get used to all this rain
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
Tumbling like the money through my hands
Em7 G
And maybe they'll call and say, "We made a big mistake"
Em7 Cadd9 D
And you and I will get our wings
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 G D/F#
'Cause they'lllllll never knoooow what it cooooooost you to be whooole
G B5 Em Cadd9
But to me you're a dream, a divine mystery
G Dsus2
And I'm lonely
Em7 Cadd9
Lonely for you only
G Dsus2
I'm lonely
Em Cadd9
Lonely for you only
[Outro]
G Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9
To call me up and take me for a ride
G Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9
Where troubled lovers run away and bleed for a while
G Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9
In poems about Jersey girls they knew in another life
G Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4 G
Long before you and I were born
