I'm not 100% on these chords, but this just how I play it.
Lyrics from genius.com
Listening to the song while playing, as always, would probably be super helpful!
I usually pick the root note with my thumb
and use my other fingers to pluck the rest of the chord.

[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Dm
I thought that I was dreaming
Am Dm
When you said you loved me
Cmaj7
It started from nothing
Dm
I had no chance to prepare
Am Dm
I couldn't see you coming
Cmaj7
It started from nothing
Dm Am
I could hate you now
Dm
It's quite alright to hate me now
Cmaj7 Dm
When we both know that deep down
Am Dm
The feeling still deep down is good
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
If I could see through walls I could see you're faking
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
If you could see my thoughts you would see our faces
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F Dm
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
Cmaj7
We didn't give a fuck back then
Em
I ain't a kid no more
Dm Em
We'll never be those kids again
Cmaj7 Dm
We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
Back then
Cmaj7/G
No matter what I did
Bbmaj7/F Cmaj7/G
My waves wouldn't dip back then
Bbmaj7/F
Everything sucked back then
Dm
We were friends
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
I thought that I was dreaming
Cmaj7/A Dm
When you said you loved me
Cmaj7
It started from nothing
Dm
I had no chance to prepare
Cmaj7 Dm
I couldn't see you coming
Cmaj7/G
It started from nothing
Bbmaj7/F
I could hate you now
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
It's quite alright to hate me now
Em/B C
But we both know that deep down
Em/B Am Dm
The feeling still deep down is good
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
In the halls of your hotel
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
Em/B C Em/B Dm
How much I meant to you...meant it sincere back then
Em
We had time to kill back then
Cmaj7 Dm
You ain't a kid no more
Am Dm
We'll never be those kids again
Cmaj7 Dm
It's not the same, ivory's illegal
Am Dm
Don't you remember?
Cmaj7/G
I broke your heart last week
Bbmaj7/F Cmaj7/G
You'll probably feel better by the weekend
Bbmaj7/F
Still remember, had you going crazy
Cmaj7/G
Scream my name
Bbmaj7/F Em
The feeling deep down is good
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Dm
I thought that I was dreaming
Am Dm
When you said you loved me
Cmaj7
It started from nothing
Dm
I had no chance to prepare
Am Dm
Couldn't see you coming
Cmaj7/G
And we started from nothing
Bbmaj7/F Cmaj7/G
I could hate you now
Bbmaj7/F
It's alright to hate me now
Cmaj7 Dm
We both know that deep down
Am Dm
The feeling still deep down is good
[Outro]
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
All the things I didn't mean to say
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
I didn't mean to do
Cmaj7 Am
There were things you didn't need to say
Cmaj7 Dm
Didn't need to...need to
Cmaj7/G
I could dream all night,
Bbmaj7/F Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
Dream all night
Cmaj7/G
I could drive all night
Bbmaj7/F Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
Drive all night
Cmaj7/G
Dreaming, dreamin'
