Rhythm tips :
Usually, half a bar each chord, 'more or less', which means that it is not that simple
 (like in Wonderwall actually). Listen carefully.

(Intro - half a bar each chord)
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 x 4

(Verse - half a bar each chord)
Em7                     Dsus4            Cadd9        Dsus4
I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain
Em7               Dsus4            Cadd9        Dsus4
Behind me lie the years that I've misspent
Em7                          Dsus4         Cadd9        Dsus4
And I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain
             Em7            Dsus4          Cadd9        Dsus4
When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sent

(Pre chorus - 1 full bar for the first three chords, half a bar for the last 2)
 A7sus4
Gonna try my best to get there
 Cadd9
But I can't afford the bus fare
 Dsus4
And the storm that's rolling over
        A7sus4           Cadd9
Man, it makes me want to cry

(Chorus - half a bar each chord)
    Em7        Dsus4           Cadd9                   Dsus4
And I      was told   that the streets were paved with gold
                  Em7              Dsus4            Cadd9           Dsus4
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
    Em7          Dsus4          Cadd9           Dsus4
But it's       alright   If you dance with me tonight
                Em7          Dsus4                     Cadd9          Dsus4
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun

(No lyrics - half a bar each chord)
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 x 2

(Verse - half a bar each chord)
Em7                     Dsus4                    Cadd9       Dsus4
I woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere
    Em7                 Dsus4            Cadd9        Dsus4
The echoes that I could hear were all my own
   Em7                   Dsus4            Cadd9        Dsus4
The world had turned and I'd become a stranger 
                 Em7              Dsus4           Cadd9        Dsus4
And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone

(Pre chorus - 1 full bar for the first three chords, half a bar for the last 2)
A7sus4
Gonna try my best to get there
 Cadd9
But I can't afford the bus fare
 Dsus4
And the storm that's rolling over
        A7sus4                A7sus4*
Man, it makes me want to cry

(Extended Pre chorus - 1 full bar for the first three chords, half a bar for the following 2,
 the last Em7 is actually the first chord of the chorus)
     Cadd9
And the cold against my shoulder
     Dsus4
When it comes on in the winter
      A7sus4
And it seems to last forever
       Cadd9                Dsus4            Em7
And it makes me want to, It makes me want to cry


(Chorus - bound to the previous lyrics : 'cry' turns into 'I' - half a bar each chord)
               Dsus4           Cadd9                   Dsus4
           was told   that the streets were paved with gold
                  Em7              Dsus4            Cadd9           Dsus4
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
    Em7          Dsus4          Cadd9           Dsus4
But it's       alright   If you dance with me tonight
                Em7          Dsus4                     Cadd9          Dsus4
