*These forms of the chords with the lower root notes are used in the bridge and outro.
You can use them during the verses and it'll sound fine.
In the recording the difference is only a big deal in the bridge/outro
Strumming pattern sample:
Chord names are above, up (u) or down (d) is below.
You can also just play the full chord each time instead of plucking part of the string.

[Intro]
A B/A D/A
A B/A D/A
[Verse 1]
A B/A
From the corner of 3rd and Washington
D/A
You can't see where your brother went
B/A
Out somewhere past the beat cops
D/A
And beautiful women who work for the government
F#m E/A
They walk by in air-conditioned tunnels
Eb/A
That arc high above the street
D/A
While I sweat in my hot coffee
E
And daydream about how we might meet
A B/A D/A
A B/A D/A
[Verse 2]
A B/A
Your mother asked for a picture
D/A
She says "today's your birthday"
B/A
In some strung out western stutter
D/A
Making all the world her ashtray
F#m E/A
She adjusts her aviators
Eb/A
With an absent shaking hand
D/A
Tilts the camera forty-five degrees
E
And calls out modeling commands
A B/A D/A
A B/A D/A
[Verse 3]
A B/A
When we used to go to parties
D/A
You'd spend an hour before the mirror
B/A
And I'd drink your gin
D/A
And ask about your high school souvenirs
F#m E/A
Tacked on the wall above the bed
Eb/A
An old Inkjet collage
D/A
But you were never much for talking
E
So I knelt to your garage
A B/A D/A
A B/A D/A
[Verse 4]
A B/A
We'd walk the three blocks westbound
D/A
In the moonlit Philly fall
B/A
And the party would be grand
D/A
All our friends would grin with pride
F#m E/A
All our friends would be so drunk
Eb/A
And have such pleasant things to say
D/A
And at last, we'd see each other
In the way that we had dreamed to be seen
A B/A D/A

[Verse 5]
A B/A
Those nights your house kept secret
D/A
We'd stumble up the stairs
B/A
My hands tore through your records
D/A
While your hands unpinned your hair
F#m E/A
The both of us still green enough
Eb/A
To remove the other's clothes
D/A
A quiet signal of devotion
That I am happy to have known
A B/A D/A
