Taken from a couple of live versions, so it may vary.
Capo 5th fret
Chords used:
Cadd9: X32030
G: 320030
Dsus2: XX0230
Intro/Chorus: Cadd9 G Dsus2
The picking pattern has a couple of variations, but its mostly based around this.
Some notes are added or not played (the note on the D string in the Cadd9 and G chords
experiment a bit, you can't go far wrong using the chord patterns.

Verse:
The verse also uses variations on a similar pattern, usually consisting of one of these
of a mix of the two:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----3-----------3-----------3--1p0--3----------------------|
G|----0--0---0----0--0---0----0--0----2---2h4--2p0-----------|

D|---------0-----------0-----------0----0------0---------|

E|--------------------------3----------------------------|
There is also a small bridge part after the chorus sometimes which I think goes
like:

Cadd9How many roads you've GtraveledDsus2
Cadd9How many dreams you've Gchased Dsus2
Cadd9Across sand and sky and Ggravel Dsus2
Looking for one safe pCadd9lace, yeahG, hey yeDsus2ah
One safe pCadd9lace, yeahG, hey yeaDsus2h
Will you make a smoother landing
When you break your fall from grace
Into the arms of understanding
Looking for one safe place, yeah, hey yeah
One safe place, yeah, hey yeah
Oh life is trial by fire
And love's the sweetest taste
And I pray it lifts us higher
To one safe place, yeah, hey yeah
How many roads we've traveled
How many dreams we've chased
Across sand and sky and gravel
Looking for one safe place, yeah, hey yeah
One safe place, yeah, hey yeah
Thats the whole song. Comments or corrections are welcome, enjoy.
