Some chord shapes that work for the intro/verse chords:
A/D: x576xx x5765x xx0220
A/E: x776xx x7765x xx2220
Amaj7/E: x766xx x7665x xx2120
The rest of the chords are pretty straightforward.
Strum/Picking pattern during the intro: She adds or removes the * note occasionally.
Amaj7/E is played on the
upbeats. I added the E bass note on the downbeat which I find helps keep my time.

[Verse]
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
If only you could know
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
Silhouettes on your shadows
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
Will it all be the same?
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
I go back where we started
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
Where we gave it all too soon
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
But you know it comes back to you
[Chorus]
A
So take me down
A A/D
'Cause I see you when I close my eyes
E F#m
Turn a corner, take me by surprise
E F#m
And what doesn't work on this first try
E A
Maybe better in the next life
A A/D
And we'll laugh until the sun will rise
E F#m
Try to talk but only get tongue-tied
E F#m
So I live until the living's done
E A
Got a feeling there's another one
[Break]
Play intro pattern or strum.

And if all I've ever done
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
Hang on for the long run

And all you'll never see
A/E A/D A/E Amaj7/E
Everyone breaking
