It's a simple song, so I'll let you work out the strumming. The timings aren't
100% accurate, I've mostly timed the chords by the vocal line.
Ezra plays the chords as follows, in standard tuning:
G: 320033
C/G: 332010 (though don't stress the low G too much)
Em: 022000
G/B: x20033
D/A: x00232 (I know you probably just think of this as a D chord, but technically it's D/A)
G C/G x 4
GThere is life on this pC/Glanet
And I know because I've Emseen it
It is waiting in the sG/Blimiest of SD/Aaturday nGights
There's a white haunted C/Gmoon
Hanging over the lagEmoon
It was made for a G/Bmoment just sD/Auch as C/Gthis
There is love in the eGyes of the bD/Airds and C/Gbees
There are plastic bGags in subD/Aurban tC/Grees
Keep your eyes open Emall the time
And I tD/Ahink you'll find there's no pC/Glace to hide
And the wAmorld is aD/Alive
(Between the verses, strum a few times with all the strings muted with your left hand)
GThere are sailors on the C/Gocean
Little kids with crazy nEmotions
And their heads are gonna G/Bspin like a tDornado
GThere's a Bible by the C/GTV
And the curtains blowing fEmreely
In this hotel room G/Bmake my hDeart do fGlips
C\G G D C/G
There's a bush that burns but is not consumed
There's a glass of mGilk in an Dempty C/Groom
There's a song at the hEmeart of it all
And we aDll try hard just to wC/Grite it down
But you cAman't write it dDown
G C/G x4
End on G
