This is how I play this beautiful song with the guitar.
All the picking in the world cannot make up for the amazing piano though.
This is the best I could do to replicate it.
PM me if you have any questions or suggestion.
The real tune would require a capo on the 7th fret.
I keep it on the 5th because I wouldn't be able to sing those high notes
even if I practiced for 100 years. So I guess it's up to you...

with C and Am with variations.]

VERSE II
Under haunted skies I see you, ooh
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down

When the thunder calls for me
Em7 C
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own saviour
G D/G
Standing on my own two feet
