[Part 1]

This is where she sings: "The word - In water" a few times

This bit can be tricky because it's syncopated. You really need to listen to the song to figure it out. That
upwards arpeggio is  sometimes replaced by light strumming, and she finishes with a tap to complete the 
measure each time around.

[Verse]

Gmaj7 - She plays it with a combination of arpeggio and plucking. She really mixes it up, so I'll leave it to
your imagination.

They all play what I'm calling "Fill 1" at the end of each verse, where they sing: 

For your love
For your lover to find 


[Fill 1]

E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|-3---2---0---2---3---2---2-------|

This fill is the theme of the song, and it's used as a segue into different section.

When the keyboard plays that awesome little riff, the guitar falls back to the syncopated [Part 1] and ends up
in the usual Fill 1


[Bridge 1]

Here you play Dmaj7 - Gmaj7(b5) (arpeggio two notes down and then pluck the chords to time)


[Verse 2]

Coming out of Bridge 1 you do 1/2 Fill 1 and then:

E|-2-/-7---7---5---7---5---2-------|
B|-2-/-7---7---5---7---5---2-------|
G|-2-/-7---7---5---7---5---2-------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

followed by Keyboard riff (Part 1)


[Bridge 2]

Similar to Bridge 1, Dmaj7 - Gmaj7(b5) - Dmaj7 - A/B - [Verse 2]


[SECTION 2]

After the repeat of [Verse 2] strumming in a funk style it follows:

Em7 - F#m7 - Cmaj7 - Bmaj7 - Gmaj7(in common voicing) *Bmaj7 and Gmaj7 only half duration

Em7 - F#m7 - and here comes the change of key - Bb/C

The next chords are played with the same rhythm as Fill 1:

Fm7 - G#maj7 - Gm7 - Fm7


[Outro]

G#maj7 arpeggio.
