Attempt to capture chords to mimic the motion of the piano based on a live video from Warsaw:

UPDATE: The official video has now been released (14 April 2023) and I have made some updates to these chords
to match the official video:

Capo 1 to play along with the official video.
No capo to play along with the originally linked live video.
Chords with asterisks indicate single strums. The chord maps indicated below depict the strings I believe
you would pick to mimic the piano part. Where I have indicated Dsus2 and D he adds either the open high E
string or the second fret to the picking pattern as he moves to the next chord. The notes in parentheses
indicate a pluck of the open high E string as a transition between the Bm7 and the Asus4 that follows.

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I miss knowing
what you're t
hinking,
And hearing ho
w your day has
been,
Do you think
you could tel
l me everythin
g, darling
But leave out
every part abo
ut him,
Right now you'
re probably by
the ocean
While I’m stil
l out here in
the rain
With every d
ay that passes
by since we’v
e spoken
It’s like Glas
gow gets farth
er from LA
[Pre-Chorus]
(
Maybe it’s s'p
osed to be thi
s way
[Chorus]
But oh my love
I want to say
I miss the gre
en in your eye
s
And when I sai
d we could be
friends, guess
I lied
I want to say
I wish that yo
u never left
Oh, but instea
d I only wish
you the best
I want to say
without you ev
ery-thing's wr
ong
And you were e
verything I ne
ed all along
I want to say
I wish that yo
u never left
Oh, but instea
d I only wish
you the best
[Verse 2]
Well I can’t h
elp but notice
You seem happi
er than ever n
ow
So I guess t
hat I should t
ell you I’m so
rry
It seems I was
the problem s
omehow,
[Pre-Chorus]
(
Maybe I only
brought you do
wn.
[Chorus]
But oh my love
I want to say
I miss the gre
en in your eye
s
And when I sai
d we could be
friends, guess
I lied
I want to say
I wish that yo
u never left
Oh, but instea
d I only wish
you the best
I want to say
without you ev
ery-thing's wr
ong
And you were e
verything I ne
ed all along
I want to say
I wish that yo
u never left
Oh, but instea
d I only wish
you the best
[Bridge]
But oh my love
,
Oh-whoah-oh-oh
Oh my love
Oh-whoah-oh-oh
-oh-oooh
Wish I could
say it’s some
thing I really
mean
But I want you
happy, whethe
r or not it's
with me
I want to say
I wish that yo
u never left
Oh, but instea
d I only wish

And you were e
verything I ne

Oh, but instea
