Either Strum or play in the same pattern as the intro throughout, obviously
without the strum at the end.
Either Standard Tuning or Capo on 1 if playing it like the intro
Also keep your 3rd and fourth finger on like this:
e|----3---|
B|----3---|
G|--------|
D|--------|
A|--------|
E|--------|
for everything except the chorus, but still keep it on the Em7 chord for the
chorus, hope that made sense :)

[Verse 1]
C Em7
I spend my time, watching
G C
The spaces that have grown between us.
Em7
And I cut my mind on second best,
G C
Oh the scars that come with the greenness.
Em7
And I gave my eyes to the boredom,
G C
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in.
Em7
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
G C Em7
In which I swim, oh the darkness... in which I swim.
C Em7
Now walking back, down this mountain,
G C
The strength of a turnin' tide.
Em7
Oh the wind so soft, and my skin,
G C
Yeah the sun was so hot upon my side.
Em7
Oh lookin' out at this happiness
G C
I searched for between the sheets,
Em7
Oh feelin' blind, to realize,
G C
All I was searchin' for... was me.
Em7 G C
Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me.
D
Oh yeah
Em7 D C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no,
Em7 D C
Keep your mind set, keep your head whole Oh my, my darlin'.
Em7 D C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no.
Em7 D C
Keep your mind set in your ways... And keep your heart strong.
[Verse 2]
C Em7
I saw a friend of mine, the other day,
G C
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
Em7
I said I'd been away, and he knew
G C
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
Em7
And it felt so good to see his face,
G C
Oh the comfort invested in my soul,
Em7
to feel the warmth, of his smile,
G C
when he said, 'I'm happy to have you home.'
Em7 G C
Oh oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home.
D
Ohh
[Chorus]
Em7 D C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no,
Em7 D C
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long Oh my, my darlin'.
Em7 D C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no.
Em7 D C
Keep your mind set in your ways... Keep your heart strong.
[Bridge]
Em7 D C
And I'll always remember you the same.
Em7 D C
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh within demons of change.
D C
Ohhh may you find happiness here.
D C
Ohhh may all your hopes all turn out right.
[Chorus]
Em7 D C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong no, no, no, no,
Em7 D C
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long Oh my, my darlin'.
Em7 D C
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong Na, oh, no, no.
Em7 D C
Keep your mind set in your ways... Keep your heart strong.
[Outro]
Em7 D C
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Em7 D C
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh within demons of change.
