These are the basic chords used throughout the song. I'll show you the
inversions that I usually like to use when playing it that better fits to
the melody. You'll probably develop your own style but this is a good start
to work off of.

G D Bm
i wish that you would move to the sun
F#m
cause you're like diggin' holes in thin air
G
and we know that can't be done.
G D Bm
i wish that you would cheat with someone
F#m
cause you're like diggin' holes in water
G
and we know that can't be done
G
bravery and stupidity go hand in hand
D Bm
i guess that makes me the bravest man
F#m
i was quick to learn but slow to understand
G
well, what can you do
G
my theories are borrowed from somewhere else
D Bm
and i never had too many to talk about
F#m
but you were real quick, you were quick to point out
G
well, that was borrowed too
*I added in Bm even though it really isn't necessary in here but it goes
along and helps with transitioning to the F#m so it's your choice if you'd
like to add it in.
Here are the rest of the lyrics to song obtained from songmeanings.net.
i wish that you would move to the sun
cause you're like diggin' holes in thin air
and we know that can't be done
i wish that you would cheat with someone
cause you're like diggin' holes in water
and we know that can't be done
bravery and stupidity go hand in hand
and i guess that makes me the bravest man
i was quick to learn but slow to understand
well, what can you do
rhetoric and smalltalk are marching on
and i probably am the biggest pawn
cause i was quick to talk and the first to carry on
well, what can you do
you need a permit if you're gonna build shit
and you can't get one so nothing gets built
and your house is standing on a foot and a half of silt
i wish that you would move to the sun
cause you're like diggin' holes in thin air
and we know that can't be done
i wish that you would cheat with someone
cause you're like diggin' holes in water
and we know that can't be done
rhetoric and smalltalk are marching on
and i probably am the biggest pawn
cause i was quick to talk and the first to carry on
well, what can you do
