This should be played on a 12 string guitar with capo at 3rd fret (Eb)
This is what I was able to see looking at Steven Rothery while playing live and acoustic in Riccione some
7 years ago.
I'm afraid I have no youtube video to attach to this: I was too busy enjoying the set to film it, sorry...

Everybody knows we live in a world where they give bad names to beautiful things
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G F/C C6add11 F/C G Gadd11 G6
Everybody knows we live in a world where we don't give beautiful things a second glance
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G F/C C6add11 F/C G Gadd11 G6
Heaven only knows we live in a world where what we call beautiful is just something on sale
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G F/C C6add11 F/C G Gadd11 G6
People laughing behind their hands As the fragile and the sensitive are given no chance
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G
And the leaves turn from red to brown
F/C C6add11 F/C
To be trodden down
G Gadd11 G6
To be trodden down
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G
And the leaves turn from red to brown
F/C C6add11 F/C
Fall to the ground
G Gadd11 G6
Fall to the ground
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G F/C C6add11 F/C G Gadd11 G6
We don't have to live in a world where we give bad names to beautiful things
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G
We should live in a beautiful world
F/C C6add11 F/C G Gadd11 G6
We should give beautiful a second glance
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G
And the leaves fall from red to brown
F/C C6add11 F/C
To be trodden down
G Gadd11 G6
Trodden down
C Em7 Am G Gadd11 G
And the leaves turn green to red to brown
F/C C6add11 F/C
Fall to the ground
G Gadd11 G6
And get kicked around

And we all fall green to red to brown
F/C C6add11 F/C
Fall to the ground
G Gadd11 G6
But we can turn it around
Am7 Dadd11 F7
You strong enough to be..
Am7 Dadd11 F7
Why don't you stand up and say
