This is his acoustic version, not sure if the album is a step up in pitch or not.
Lovely song, and this video by Christian Tierney is
what made me discover his music in the first place!
Chills on the last chorus for sure :O

[Verse 1]
Em (F#) G
We were raised under Grey skies,
G Cmaj7 Bm7
But you'll never hear us complain
Em (F#) G
Oh, and - father led with examples
G Cmaj7 Bm7
Of how to draw beauty from pain
Em (F#) G
So I found a thousand spring-times in her eyes
G Cmaj7 Bm7
And I learned to play games in the rain
[Chorus]
Am7
Oh, when you left us you didn't really go
Bm7
I know you're watching me from my head to my toes
*Em7 *Bm7
And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no
Am7
And truth be told, everybody knows
Bm7
You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes
*Em7 *Bm7 *Am7 *Bm7 Em (F#) G
I found the touch of your hand in the breeze
G Cmaj7 Bm7
And the light of your smile in sun rays
Em (F#) G
You should know I hear the sound of your voice in music
G Cmaj7 Bm7
So I speak with you everyday
[Chorus]
Am7
Oh, when you left us you didn't really go
Bm7
I know you're watching me from my head to my toes
*Em7 *Bm7
And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no
Am7
And truth be told, everybody knows
Bm7
You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes
*Em7 *Bm7 *Am7 *Bm7 Cmaj7 X
We have overcome, 'cause of what you've done
*Bm7 *Am7
And it's plain to see that you're here with me x2
End with this chord on 2nd time thru
