The chords are carried by the piano in this song, so there are no right or wrong guitar chords. I suggest you simply stay in standard tuning and play the chords any way you want.

"There's no need to fear me Darling, I love you as you are when you're alone
I'll never try to change you As if I could, and if I were to, what's the part that I'd miss most?
When you're smiling and astride me I can hardly believe I've found you, and I'm terrified by that
